Comments:

This burst is only 45.9 degrees from the Sun, so there will be no prompt XRT or UVOT data.
BAT: burst can be classified as an X-ray flash.
UVOT: The XRT error circle is located in the scattered light halo of the B = 11.4 star (TYC 2264-1051-1), so it is not possible to constrain the presence of an afterglow in the UVOT data
