S. T. Holland (STScI) and J. L. Racusin (NASA/GSFC) report on behalf
of the Swift/UVOT team:
The Swift/UVOT began settled observations of the field of GRB
140311B 3398 s after the BAT trigger (Racusin et al. 2014, GCNC
15945). We do not detect any new source consistent with the Nansan
afterglow position (Xu et al. 2014, GCNC 15949) in any of the UVOT
exposures. Preliminary 3-sigma upper limits, using the UVOT
photometric system (Breeveld et al. 2011, AIP Conf. Proc. 1358, 373),
for the finding chart and summed exposures are presented below.
---------------------------------------------------
Filter TSTART TSTOP Exposure Mag
---------------------------------------------------
white (FC) 3398 3548 147 >21.2
---------------------------------------------------

uvm2 3760 5396 393 >20.2
uvw2 4787 4986 197 >20.1
white 4580 4780 197 >21.4
---------------------------------------------------
The quoted upper limits have not been corrected for the expected
extinction due to the Galactic reddening along the line of sight to
this burst of E(B-V) = 0.05 mag (Schlafly et al. 2011, ApJS, 737,
103).
