report on behalf of the Swift/UVOT team:
The Swift/UVOT began settled observations of the field of GRB 150430A
115 s after the BAT trigger (D'Elia et al., GCN Circ. 17789).
No optical afterglow consistent with the XRT position is
detected in the initial UVOT exposures. Preliminary 3-sigma
upper limits using the UVOT photometric system
(Breeveld et al. 2011, AIP Conf. Proc. 1358, 373) for the first
finding chart (FC) exposure and subsequent exposures are:
Filter T_start(s) T_stop(s) Exp(s) Mag
white_FC 115 265 147 >20.6
u_FC 273 523 246 >19.7
white 115 5422 344 >21.2
v 4196 5832 393 >19.8
b 5017 6487 231 >20.3
u 273 6447 639 >20.3
w1 4607 6242 393 >20.4
m2 4401 6037 393 >20.7
w2 3990 5627 393 >20.9
The magnitudes in the table are not corrected for the Galactic extinction
due to the reddening of E(B-V) = 0.03 in the direction of the burst
(Schlegel et al. 1998).
