Williams (PSU) report on behalf of the Swift/UVOT team: The Swift/UVOT began settled observations of the field of GRB 241218A 152 s after the BAT trigger (Williams et al., GCN Circ. 38601). No optical afterglow consistent with the XRT position *** POSITION REFERENCE is GCN_Circulars-38604 *** 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 152 301 147 >20.7 u_FC 310 559 246 >19.8 white 152 1014 334 >21.0 v 640 1411 97 >18.5 b 565 1337 78 >18.7 u 310 1312 304 >19.8 w1 689 709 19 >21.1 The magnitudes in the table are not corrected for the Galactic extinction due to the reddening of E(B-V) = 0.024 in the direction of the burst (Schlegel et al. 1998).
