S. Immler (NASA/CRESST/GSFC) and M. Perri (ASDC) report on
behalf of the Swift/UVOT team:

The Swift/UVOT observed the field of GRB 090519 starting 106 s after
the BAT trigger (Perri et al., GCN Circ. 9400). No optical afterglow
is detected in the initial UVOT exposures at the enhanced position
of the X-ray afterglow (Goad et al., GCN Circ. 9405) or the position
of the NOT afterglow candidate (Thoene et al. GCN Circ. 9403).
Three-sigma upper limits using the UVOT photometric system
(Poole et al. 2008, MNRAS, 383, 627) are:

The values quoted above 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).
