S. R. Oates (MSSL-UCL) & C. W. Wolf (PSU) report on behalf of the
Swift-UVOT team
The Swift/UVOT began settled observations of the field of GRB 110407A 168s
after the trigger (Wolf et al., GCN Circ. 11895). We do not detect a
source at the position of the X-ray (Evans et al., GCN Circ. 11896, 11903)
or optical afterglow reported by Lulin (Chuang et al, GCN Circ. 11899,
11901), NOT (Malesani et al., GCN Circ. 11904) and GROND (Kann et al, GCN
Circ. 11906).
Preliminary magnitudes using the UVOT photometric system (Poole et al.
2008,MNRAS, 383, 627) for the finding chart (FC) and summed exposures at the
location of the optical afterglow are:

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