GRB 191031C: Swift/UVOT Detection

J. D. Gropp (PSU) and Ambrosi (INAF-IASFPA)
report on behalf of the Swift/UVOT team:

The Swift/UVOT began settled observations of the field of GRB 191031C
91 s after the BAT trigger (Ambrosi et al., GCN Circ. 26108).
A source consistent with the XRT position
(Goad et al. GCN Circ. 26115)
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) = 0.17 in the direction of the burst
(Schlegel et al. 1998).
