F.E. Marshall (NASA/GSFC) and P. D'Avanzo (INAF-OAB)
report on behalf of the Swift/UVOT team:

The Swift/UVOT began settled observations of the field of GRB 141109A
139 s after the BAT trigger (D'Avanzo et al., GCN Circ. 17037).
A source consistent with the optical position (Covino, GCN Circ. 17039;
Xu et al., GCN Circ. 17040) is detected in the initial UVOT exposures.

The 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) = 0.04 in the direction of the burst
(Schlegel et al. 1998).
