B. Porterfield (PSU) and C. Pagani (U Leicester)
report on behalf of the Swift/UVOT team:

The Swift/UVOT began settled observations of the field of GRB 140512A
106 s after the BAT trigger (Pagani et al., GCN Circ. 16249).
We can confirm the detection of a fading source  with the
UVOT position
  RA(J2000)  =	19:17:28.78 = 289.36991
  DEC(J2000) = -15:05:39.2  = -15.09423

Preliminary detections and 3-sigma upper limits using the UVOT photometric
system (Breeveld et al. 2011, AIP Conf. Proc. 1358, 373) for the
finding chart (FC) exposures and subsequent exposures are:

The magnitudes in the table are not corrected for the Galactic extinction
due to the reddening of E(B-V) = 0.162 in the direction of the burst
(Schlegel et al. 1998).
