S. R. Oates (MSSL-UCL) & B. Sbarufatti (INAF-OAB/IASFPA) report on behalf of the Swift-UVOT team
The Swift/UVOT began settled observations of the field of GRB 110420B
2562 s after the BAT trigger (Sbarufatti et al., GCN Circ. 11944).
No optical afterglow is found within the BAT error circle.
Preliminary 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:
