GCN Circular 35705

M. H. Siegel (PSU) and and S. B Cenko (GSFC) report on behalf of the
Swift/UVOT team:

The Swift/UVOT began settled observations of the field of GRB 240204A 
4.8 ks after the BAT trigger (Cenko et al., GCN Circ 35666). No optical
afterglow consistent with either the optical (Pozanenko et al., GCN
Circ. 35670
Not found
 
 
) or X-ray (Beardmore et al., GCN Circ. 35671
Not found
 
 
) 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 initial exposures of
the candidate afterglow field are:

The magnitudes in the table are not corrected for the Galactic extinction
due to the high but uncertain reddening in the direction of the burst
(Schlegel et al. 1998).
