H. Siegel (PSU) and T. N. Ukwatta (***BA INSTITUTION***) report on behalf of the Swift/UVOT team: The Swift/UVOT began settled observations of the field of GRB 161023A 34830 s after the INTEGRAL trigger (***Author*** et al., GCN Circ. ????). No optical afterglow consistent with the optical position *** POSITION REFERENCE is GCN_Circ_20107 *** is detected in the initial UVOT exposures. Preliminary 3-sigma upper limits using the UVOT photometric system (Breeveld et al. 2011, AIP Conf. Proc. 1358, 373) for the initial exposures are: Filter T_start(s) T_stop(s) Exp(s) Mag v 34830 47265 1292 >18.7 b 35595 47416 1191 >19.4 u 35213 47352 1292 >19.3 The magnitudes in the table are not corrected for the Galactic extinction due to the reddening of E(B-V) = 0.034 in the direction of the burst (Schlegel et al. 1998). =========== Draft Detection Circular ======== GRB 161023A: Swift/UVOT Detection M. H. Siegel (PSU) and T. N. Ukwatta (***BA INSTITUTION***) report on behalf of the Swift/UVOT team: The Swift/UVOT began settled observations of the field of GRB 161023A 34830 s after the INTEGRAL trigger (***Author*** et al., GCN Circ. ????). A source consistent with the optical position *** POSITION REFERENCE is GCN_Circ_20107 *** is detected in the initial UVOT exposures. The preliminary UVOT position is: RA (J2000) = 20:44:05.21 = 311.02169 (deg.) Dec (J2000) = -47:39:47.6 = -47.66322 (deg.) with an estimated uncertainty of 0.50 arc sec. (radius, 90% confidence). Preliminary detections using the UVOT photometric system (Breeveld et al. 2011, AIP Conf. Proc. 1358, 373) for the early exposures are: Filter T_start(s) T_stop(s) Exp(s) Mag v 34830 35207 371 19.05 +/- 0.17 b 35595 35938 338 19.39 +/- 0.11 u 35213 35590 371 19.34 +/- 0.13 The magnitudes in the table are not corrected for the Galactic extinction due to the reddening of E(B-V) = 0.034 in the direction of the burst (Schlegel et al. 1998).
