C. A. Swenson (PSU) and T. N. Ukwatta (MSU)report on behalf
of the Swift/UVOT team:
The Swift/UVOT began settled observations of the field of GRB 110402A
548 s after the BAT trigger (Ukwatta et al., GCN Circ. 11857).
We find a faint new source consistent with the enhanced XRT position
(Beardmore et al., GCN Circ. 11860).
Preliminary magnitudes and 3-sigma upper limits using the UVOT
photometric system (Poole et al. 2008, MNRAS, 383, 627) for the first
finding chart (FC) exposure and subsequent exposures are:

due to the reddening of E(B-V) = 0.02 in the direction of the burst
(Schlegel et al. 1998).
