Nysewander report:
Skynet continued to observe the afterglow (Smith et al., GCN 10192) of GRB
091127 (Troja et al., GCN 10191) with four of the 16" PROMPT telescopes at
CTIO in BVRI.
The light curve (Haislip et al., GCN 10107) continued to roll over. Between
25.0 hours and 3.4 days after the trigger, the afterglow faded with a
power-law index of about -1.4 in all bands.
At 3.2 days after the trigger, the afterglow's magnitude was R = 20.71
+0.15 -0.13 (statistical) +/- 0.37 (systematic; calibrated to 102 USNO B1
stars).
Skynet's most recent BVRI light curve, calibrated to USNO B1 and NOMAD
stars, can be found here:
