A. A. Breeveld (UCL-MSSL), S. R. Oates (U.Warwick) and J. D. Gropp (PSU)
report on behalf of the Swift/UVOT team:

The Swift/UVOT began settled observations of the field of GRB 180510A 97 
s after the BAT trigger (Gropp et al., GCN Circ. 22695).
A source is detected at the edge of the refined XRT position (D’Ai et 
al. GCN Circ. 22707) but this is consistent with the position of a 
USNO-B1.0 source (at 276.332, -31.908), and it is not clear if we see 
any fading. Preliminary detections and 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) = 0.26 in the direction of the 
burst (Schlegel et al. 1998).
