S. B. Pandey (U Mich), report on behalf of the ROTSE collaboration:
ROTSE-IIIa, located at Siding Spring Observatory, Australia, responded to
GRB 101017A (Swift trigger 436429; M. H. Siegel et al. GCN 11345),
producing images soon after the GCN notice time. We took 10 5-sec, 10
20-sec and 20 60-sec exposures. These unfiltered images are calibrated
relative to USNO A2.0 (R).
Comparison to the DSS (second epoch) reveals no new sources within the
3-sigma Swift/BAT error circle or at the UVOT position, for both single
images and coadding into sets of 10. Individual images have limiting
magnitudes ranging from 15.6-16.4; we set the following specific limits.
