S. R. Oates (MSSL-UCL) & B. Sbarufatti (INAF-OAB/IASFPA) report
on behalf of the Swift-XRT and Swift-UVOT teams
The Swift/UVOT began settled observations of the field of GRB 101204A
126195 s after the BAT trigger (Cummings et al., GCN Circ. 11440).
In agreement with report from Nicuesa Guelbenzu et al., (GCN Circ.
11445), we
find the afterglow candidate in (Sbarufatti et al. GCN Circ. 11442)
to have faded. Preliminary magnitudes using the UVOT photometric
system (Poole et al. 2008, MNRAS, 383, 627) for summed exposures are:

due to the reddening of E(B-V) = 0.03 in the direction of the burst
(Schlegel et al. 1998).
