S. J. LaPorte (PSU) and T. M. Parsotan (GSFC)
report on behalf of the Swift/UVOT team:

The Swift/UVOT began settled observations of the field of GRB 240411B
190 s after the BAT trigger (Parsotan et al., GCN Circ. 36063
Not found
 
 
). A source
consistent
with the XRT position (Goad et al., GCN Circ. 36065
Not found
 
 
) and the reported
optical transient (Izzo et al. GCN 36064

; Schneider et
al. GCN 36067

; Ror et al. GCN 36069

) is detected in the initial UVOT
exposures.

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) = 0.022 in the direction of the burst
(Schlegel et al. 1998).
