A. A. Breeveld (UCL-MSSL) and A. Y. Lien (GSFC/UMBC) report on behalf of
the Swift/UVOT team:

The Swift/UVOT began settled observations of the field of GRB 190103B
103 s after the BAT trigger (Lien et al., GCN Circ. 23602).
No optical afterglow consistent with the XRT position (Evans et al. GCN
Circ. 23603) 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) = 0.01 in the direction of the
burst (Schlegel et al. 1998).
