Emery (UCL-MSSL) and A. Melandri (INAF-OAB) report on behalf of the Swift/UVOT team: The Swift/UVOT began settled observations of the field of GRB 181010A 96 s after the BAT trigger (Melandri et al., GCN Circ. 23309). No optical afterglow consistent with the XRT position (Evans et al. GCN Circ. 23313) 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 96 246 147 >19.2 u_FC 309 558 246 >19.8 white 96 6360 395 >20.0 v 3867 5503 393 >19.3 b 564 6323 413 >20.9 u 309 6117 639 >20.5 w1 4277 5912 393 >20.1 m2 4072 5707 393 >20.9 w2 5098 5298 197 >20.5 The magnitudes in the table are not corrected for the Galactic extinction due to the reddening of E(B-V) = 0.03 in the direction of the burst (Schlegel et al. 1998). =========== Draft Detection Circular ======== GRB 181010A: Swift/UVOT Detection S.W.K. Emery (UCL-MSSL) and A. Melandri (INAF-OAB) report on behalf of the Swift/UVOT team: The Swift/UVOT began settled observations of the field of GRB 181010A 96 s after the BAT trigger (Melandri et al., GCN Circ. 23309). A source consistent with the XRT position (Evans et al. GCN Circ. 23313) is detected in the initial UVOT exposures. The preliminary UVOT position is: RA (J2000) = 03:30:16.89 = 52.57038 (deg.) Dec (J2000) = -23:02:15.4 = -23.03761 (deg.) with an estimated uncertainty of 0.49 arc sec. (radius, 90% confidence). Preliminary detections and 3-sigma upper limits 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 96 246 147 19.42 +/- 0.09 v 3867 5503 393 >19.3 b 564 6323 413 >20.9 u 309 6117 639 >20.5 w1 4277 5912 393 >20.1 m2 4072 5707 393 >20.9 w2 5098 5298 197 >20.5 The magnitudes in the table are not corrected for the Galactic extinction due to the reddening of E(B-V) = 0.03 in the direction of the burst (Schlegel et al. 1998).
