TITLE:   GCN CIRCULAR
NUMBER:  10721
SUBJECT: GRB 100504A: Swift/UVOT Observations

M. H. Siegel (PSU) and J. Mao (INAF-OAB) report on behalf
of the Swift/UVOT team.

The Swift/UVOT began settled observations of the field of
GRB 100504A 72s after the BAT trigger (Mao et al.,
GCN Circ. 10712).  Data summed from the first and second orbits
do not reveal a source at the enhanced position of the X-ray
afterglow (Mao et al., GCN Circ. 10713).

The 3-sigma upper limits for the finding chart (fc) and
summed exposures are reported below:

The above magnitudes are not corrected for the Galactic extinction
corresponding to a reddening of E_{B-V} = 0.87 (Schlegel et al.,
1998, ApJS, 500, 525). The photometry is on the UVOT photometric
system described in Poole et al. (2008, MNRAS, 383, 627).
