GRB 201014A: Swift/UVOT Upper Limits

J. D. Gropp (PSU) and E. Ambrosi (INAF-IASFPA)
report on behalf of the Swift/UVOT team:

The Swift/UVOT began settled observations of the field of GRB 201014A
176 s after the BAT trigger (Ambrosi et al., GCN Circ. 28623Loading...
 
 ) .
No optical afterglow consistent with the XRT position
(D'Elia et al., GCN Circ. 28626Loading...
 
 )
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

b               3291          3483              38            >19.17

uvw2        3514          7248             216           >19.32
white        2876          7042             382           >21.14

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).
