A. A. Breeveld (UCL-MSSL) and T. Sbarrato (INAF-IASFPA) report on behalf of the Swift/UVOT team:
The Swift/UVOT began settled observations of the field of GRB 210826A 36747 s after the LAT trigger
(Ohno et al., GCN Circ. 30721). No new optical source consistent with the any of the 8 candidate XRT
positions (D'Ai et al., GCN Circ. 30725) is detected in the initial UVOT exposures.
Preliminary 3-sigma upper limits using the UVOT photometric system (Breeveld et al. 2011, AIP Conf.
Proc. 1358, 373) for the initial exposures are:
Filter T_start(s) T_stop(s) Exp(s) Mag
v 36747 49716 4869 >20.9
The magnitudes in the table are not corrected for the Galactic extinction due to the reddening of
E(B-V) = 0.032 in the direction of the burst (Schlegel et al. 1998).
