A. Breeveld (UCL-MSSL) and S. Dichiara (PSU) report on behalf of the Swift/UVOT team: The Swift/UVOT began settled observations of the field of GRB 230228A 122 s after the BAT trigger (Dichiara et al., GCN Circ. 33378). No optical afterglow consistent with the XRT position (Beardmore et al. GCN Circ. 33382) 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 122 272 147 >20.1 u_FC 335 585 246 >19.5 white 122 1705 411 >20.9 v 665 1756 136 >18.8 b 590 1854 134 >20.4 u 335 1830 363 >19.7 w1 714 1806 117 >20.0 m2 689 1780 117 >19.7 w2 640 1731 136 >21.3 The magnitudes in the table are not corrected for the Galactic extinction due to the reddening of E(B-V) = 0.085 in the direction of the burst (Schlegel et al. 1998).
