GCN Circular 31204

M. H. Siegel (PSU) and Ambrosi (INAF-IASFPA)
report on behalf of the Swift/UVOT team:

The Swift/UVOT began settled observations of the field of GRB 211207A
85 s after the BAT trigger (Ambrosi et al., GCN Circ. 31182
Not found
 
 
).
A source consistent with the XRT position
(Osborne et al. GCN Circ. 31184
Not found
 
 
)
is detected in the initial UVOT exposures.

The preliminary UVOT position is:
    RA  (J2000) =  09:58:29.79 = 149.62412 (deg.)
    Dec (J2000) = -24:21:31.3  = -24.35869 (deg.)
with an estimated uncertainty of 0.43 arc sec. (radius, 90% confidence).

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) = 0.050 in the direction of the burst
(Schlegel et al. 1998).
