Subject

From
Tyler Pritchard at PSU <tapritchard@astro.psu.edu>
T.A. Pritchard (PSU) and R. L. C. Starling (U Leicester)
report on behalf of the Swift/UVOT team:

The Swift/UVOT began settled observations of the field of GRB 110414A
151 s after the BAT trigger (Starling et al., GCN Circ. 11931).
No optical afterglow consistent with the XRT position
(Starling et al., GCN Circ. 11931) 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 initial exposures are:

The values quoted above are not corrected for the Galactic extinction
due to the reddening of E(B-V) = 0.33 in the direction of the burst
(Schlegel et al. 1998).
