S. Immler (CRESST/UMCP/GSFC) and G. Stratta (ASDC) report on behalf
of the Swift/UVOT team:
Swift UVOT started observing the field of GRB 110107A on January 8,
2011 at 15:12 UT, approximately T+17.9 hours (Cummings, GCN Circ 11545).
No optical afterglow consistent with the XRT position (Stratta et al.,
GCN Circ. 11547) is detected in individual or merged UVOT exposures.
Preliminary 3-sigma upper limits using the UVOT photometric system
(Poole et al. 2008, MNRAS, 383, 627) are:
Filter T_start T_stop Exp(s) Mag
-----------------------------------------------
v 64,646 75,090 2247 >20.5
u 64,609 74,538 1638 >21.2
-----------------------------------------------
The quoted upper limits have not been corrected for the expected
Galactic extinction along the line of sight corresponding to a
reddening of E_{B-V} = 0.459 mag (Schlegel et al., 1998, ApJS, 500, 525).
