report on behalf of the Swift/UVOT team:
The Swift/UVOT began settled observations of the field of GRB 190627A
115 s after the BAT trigger (Sonbas et al., GCN Circ. 24888).
An uncatalogued source consistent with the BAT position
is detected in the initial UVOT exposures.
The preliminary UVOT position is:
RA (J2000) = 16:19:18.69 = 244.82788 (deg.)
Dec (J2000) = -05:17:20.8 = -5.28912 (deg.)
with an estimated uncertainty of 0.46 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:
Filter T_start(s) T_stop(s) Exp(s) Mag
white 115 144 29 18.15 +/- 0.10
The magnitudes in the table are not corrected for the Galactic extinction
due to the reddening of E(B-V) = 0.18 in the direction of the burst
(Schlegel et al. 1998).
