A. A. Breeveld (UCL-MSSL) and K. L. Page (U. Leicester)
report on behalf of the Swift/UVOT team:

The Swift/UVOT began settled observations of the field of GRB 201013A 74 s after the BAT trigger 
(Page et al., GCN Circ. 28607).
There is a bright optical source (USNO B1.0 1470-0207304) 0.5 arcsec from the enhanced XRT position 
(Beardmore et al. GCN Circ. 28608). The magnitudes measured at this position by UVOT are consistent 
with those catalogued and thus we do not detect any evidence of an afterglow candidate.
Preliminary 3-sigma upper limits using the UVOT photometric system (Breeveld et al. 2011, AIP Conf. 
Proc. 1358, 373) for the first finding chart (FC) exposure and subsequent exposures are:

The magnitudes in the table are not corrected for the Galactic extinction due to the reddening of 
E(B-V) = 0.05 in the direction of the burst (Schlegel et al. 1998).
