GCN Circular 28610

Paul Kuin (UCL-MSSL) and Kim Page (U.Leicester)
report on behalf of the Swift/UVOT team:

The Swift/UVOT began settled observations of the field of SGR 1830-0645/
GRB 201010 71 s after the BAT trigger (Page et al., GCN Circ. 28594
Not found
 
 
).
This field is crowded with sources. Near the XRT position
(Osborne et al. GCN Circ. 28596
Not found
 
 
) we find two sources which were
both observed not to vary within our measuring accuracy of 0.07 mag.
Hence, 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:

The magnitudes in the table are not corrected for the Galactic extinction
due to the reddening of E(B-V) = 1.78 in the direction of the burst
(Schlegel et al. 1998).
