report on behalf of the Swift/UVOT team:
The Swift/UVOT began settled observations of the field of
GRB 111107A 73 s after the BAT trigger (Siegel et al.,
GCN Circ. 12534).
Preliminary detections and 3-sigma upper limits using the UVOT
photometric system (Poole et al. 2008, MNRAS, 383, 627)
for the early exposures are:
Filter T_start(s) T_stop(s) Exp(s) Mag
white 73 223 147 19.45 +/- 0.10
v 615 1755 136 >18.7
b 540 1681 117 >20.0
u 285 1656 343 >19.9
w1 664 1631 117 >19.2
m2 639 5231 299 >19.7
w2 590 1730 136 >20.0
The magnitudes in the table are not corrected for the Galactic extinction
due to the reddening of E(B-V) = 0.14 in the direction of the burst
(Schlegel et al. 1998).
