GCN Circular 24703

M. H. Siegel (PSU) reports on behalf of the Swift/UVOT team:

The Swift/UVOT began settled observations of the field of GRB 190530A
33.8 ks after the LAT trigger (GCN Circ. 24676
Not found
 
 
). A fading source consistent
with the optical counterpart first reported by Lipunov et al. (GCN Circ.
24680
Not found
 
 
) is detected in the initial UVOT exposures.

The preliminary UVOT position is:
   RA  (J2000) =  08:02:07.70 = 120.53209 (deg.)
   Dec (J2000) = +35:28:46.8  =  35.47968 (deg.)
with an estimated uncertainty of 0.49 arc sec. (radius, 90% confidence).

Preliminary detections using the UVOT photometric system
(Breeveld et al. 2011, AIP Conf. Proc. 1358, 373) for the early exposures are:

The magnitudes in the table are not corrected for the Galactic extinction
due to the reddening of E(B-V) = 0.05 in the direction of the burst
(Schlegel et al. 1998).
