A. A. Breeveld (UCL-MSSL) and E. Sonbas (Adiyaman Univ.)
report on behalf of the Swift/UVOT team:

The Swift/UVOT began settled observations of the field of GRB 181126A
80s after the BAT trigger (Sonbas et al., GCN Circ. 23453).
No optical afterglow consistent with the XRT position (Beardmore et al.,
GCN Circ. 23455) is detected in the initial UVOT exposures.
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) = 0.07 in the direction of the
burst (Schlegel et al. 1998).
