GRB 191019A: Swift/UVOT Detection

S. J. LaPorte (PSU) and K. K. Simpson (PSU)
report on behalf of the Swift/UVOT team:

The Swift/UVOT began settled observations of the field of GRB 191019A
3294 s after the BAT trigger (Simpson et al., GCN Circ. 26031).
A fading source consistent with the XRT position
(Evans et al. GCN Circ. 26034)
is detected in the initial UVOT exposures.

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). Additionally, these magnitudes likely include a
contribution
from the probable host-galaxy, as reported by TSHAO (Reva et al., GCN Circ.
26036),
NOT (Fynbo et al., GCN Circ. 26041), and GROND (Guelbenzu et al. GCN Circ.
26042).
