P.A. Curran (MSSL-UCL) and J. K. Cannizzo (NASA/UMBC) report on behalf
of the Swift/UVOT team:
The Swift/UVOT began settled observations of the field of GRB 100619A 87
s after the BAT trigger (Cannizzo et al., GCN Circ. 10863). No optical
afterglow consistent with the enhanced XRT position (Beardmore et al.,
GCN Circ. 10865) is detected in the initial UVOT exposures. Preliminary
3-sigma upper limits using the UVOT photometric system (Poole et al.
2008, MNRAS, 383, 627) for the first finding chart (FC) and subsequent
exposures are:

The values quoted above 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).
