P. Beardmore (U. Leicester) report on behalf of the Swift/UVOT team: The Swift/UVOT began settled observations of the field of GRB 251001B 119 s after the BAT trigger (Beardmore et al., GCN Circ. 42039). No optical afterglow consistent with the XRT position *** POSITION REFERENCE is GCN_Circulars-42039 *** 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 119 269 147 >18.6 u_FC 331 581 246 >18.4 white 119 1010 295 >18.9 u 331 581 246 >18.4 The magnitudes in the table are not corrected for the Galactic extinction due to the reddening of E(B-V) = 0.023 in the direction of the burst (Schlegel et al. 1998). =========== Draft Detection Circular ======== GRB 251001B: Swift/UVOT Detection ***UBS*** (***INSTITUTION***) and A. P. Beardmore (U. Leicester) report on behalf of the Swift/UVOT team: The Swift/UVOT began settled observations of the field of GRB 251001B 119 s after the BAT trigger (Beardmore et al., GCN Circ. 42039). A source consistent with the XRT position *** POSITION REFERENCE is GCN_Circulars-42039 *** is detected in the initial UVOT exposures. The preliminary UVOT position is: RA (J2000) = 02:50:36.30 = 42.65126 (deg.) Dec (J2000) = -23:01:11.6 = -23.01990 (deg.) with an estimated uncertainty of 0.47 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 119 269 147 18.76 +/- 0.06 u 331 581 246 18.75 +/- 0.12 The magnitudes in the table are not corrected for the Galactic extinction due to the reddening of E(B-V) = 0.023 in the direction of the burst (Schlegel et al. 1998).
