GCN Circular 12466

S. R. Oates (MSSL-UCL) and T. Sakamoto (NASA/UMBC)
report on behalf of the Swift/UVOT team:

The Swift/UVOT began settled observations of the field of GRB 111020A
80 s after the BAT trigger (Sakamoto et al., GCN Circ. 12460
Not found
 
 
).
No optical afterglow consistent with the XRT position (Osborne et al., GCN Circ. 12463
Not found
 
 
) 
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 first finding chart (FC)
exposure and subsequent exposures are:

This photometry may be complicated by the presence of a catalogued source 
approximately 3'' away from the centre of the enhanced XRT error circle.
The magnitudes in the table are not corrected for the Galactic extinction
due to the reddening of E(B-V) = 0.43 in the direction of the burst
(Schlegel et al. 1998).
