K. Simpson (PSU) and V. D'Elia (SSDC) report on behalf of the Swift/UVOT team: The Swift/UVOT began settled observations of the field of GRB 210306A 85 s after the BAT trigger (D'Elia et al., GCN Circ. 29597). No optical afterglow consistent with the XRT position (D'Elia et al. GCN Circ. 29597) 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 first finding chart (FC) exposure and subsequent exposures are: Filter T_start(s) T_stop(s) Exp(s) Mag white_FC 85 235 147 >16.2 u_FC 297 547 246 >16.7 white 85 597 167 >16.3 v 628 648 19 >16.8 b 553 572 19 >17.0 u 297 547 246 >16.7 The magnitudes in the table are not corrected for the Galactic extinction due to the reddening of E(B-V) = 0.052 in the direction of the burst (Schlegel et al. 1998). =========== Draft Detection Circular ======== GRB 210306A: Swift/UVOT Detection K. K. Simpson (PSU) and V. D'Elia (SSDC) report on behalf of the Swift/UVOT team: The Swift/UVOT began settled observations of the field of GRB 210306A 85 s after the BAT trigger (D'Elia et al., GCN Circ. 29597). A source consistent with the XRT position (D'Elia et al. GCN Circ. 29597) is detected in the initial UVOT exposures. The preliminary UVOT position is: RA (J2000) = 08:39:49.98 = 129.95824 (deg.) Dec (J2000) = +60:12:19.2 = 60.20533 (deg.) with an estimated uncertainty of 0.42 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 white 85 235 147 16.23 +/- 0.03 v 628 648 19 17.44 +/- 0.24 b 553 572 20 17.32 +/- 0.13 u 297 547 246 16.87 +/- 0.04 The magnitudes in the table are not corrected for the Galactic extinction due to the reddening of E(B-V) = 0.052 in the direction of the burst (Schlegel et al. 1998).
