M. M. Chester (PSU) and L.M.Z. Hagen (PSU) report on behalf of the
Swift/UVOT team:
The Swift/UVOT began settled observations of the field of GRB 130831A
(Hagen et al., GCN Circ. 15139) 191 seconds after the BAT trigger.
A source consistent with the enhanced XRT position (Evans et al.,
GCN Circ. 15147) is detected in the initial UVOT exposures.
Preliminary detections and 3-sigma upper limits using the UVOT
photometric system (Breeveld et al. 2011, AIP Conf. Proc. 1358, 373)
for the first finding chart (FC) exposures and subsequent exposures are:

The magnitudes in the table are not corrected for the Galactic
extinction due to the reddening of E(B-V) = 0.04 in the direction
of the burst (Schlegel et al. 1998).
