report on behalf of the Swift/UVOT team:
The Swift/UVOT began settled observations of the field of GRB 110903A
33.8 ks after the INTEGRAL trigger (Mereghetti et al., GCN Circ. 12322).
No optical afterglow consistent with the enhanced XRT position (Page,
GCN Circ. 12324) is detected in the initial UVOT exposures. UVOT
magnitude 3-sigma upper limits are reported in the following table:
Filter T_start T_stop Exp(s) Mag (3-sigma upper limit)
-------------------------------------------------------------
white 38935 45300 1507 > 21.94
v 39664 40380 705 > 19.86
u 33776 44483 1589 > 20.73
The quoted upper limits have not been corrected for the expected
Galactic extinction along the line of sight of E_(B-V) = 0.01
(Schlegel et al. 1998). All photometry is on the UVOT photometric
system described in Poole et al. (2008, MNRAS, 383, 627).
