N. P. M. Kuin (UCL-MSSL) and K. K. Simpson (PSU) report on behalf of the
Swift/UVOT team:

The Swift/UVOT began settled observations of the field of GRB 200410A
104 s after the BAT trigger (Simpson et al., GCN Circ. 27518Loading...
 
 ).
A source consistent with the XRT position (Goad et al. GCN Circ. 27522Loading...
 
 )
is detected in the initial UVOT exposures.

The uvot position has been determined from the first white image to be
RA  = 19:58:35.3
Dec = +51:46:53.0
or 299.64717 =51.78138 Deg (J2000) with an error estimate of 0.5".
There are two nearby stars visible at 4 and 6 arcsec.


Preliminary detections and 3-sigma upper limits 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) = 0.15 in the direction of the burst
(Schlegel et al. 1998).
