P. J. Brown (PSU) and W. H. Baumgartner (GSFC/UMGC)
report on behalf of the Swift/UVOT team:

The Swift/UVOT observed the field of GRB 081007
starting about 109 s after the BAT detection
(Baumgartner et al., GCN Circ. 8330).  We report additional
detections and 3 sigma upper limits of the fading afterglow
(where T_start and T_stop represent the
elapsed time since the BAT trigger in seconds).

The above magnitudes are not corrected for the Galactic extinction
corresponding to a reddening of E(B-V) = 0.015 mag (Schlegel et al.,
1998, ApJS, 500, 525).  The photometry is on the UVOT photometric
system described in Poole et al. (2008, MNRAS, 383,627).
