A. Gomboc, J. Japelj and D. Kopac (U. Ljubljana) on behalf of a large
collaboration report:
The 2-m Faulkes Telescope North robotically followed up GRB110414A
(SWIFT
trigger 451343; Starling et al. GCN 11931) starting about 4 min after
the
GRB trigger time. Observations were performed automatically with BVRi
filters.
We do not detect any clear fading object inside the reported XRT
position
down to a limiting magnitude of R~20.0. We do detect a faint
uncatalogued
source, in one single SDSS-i exposure, inside the XRT error circle with
coordinates:
RA = 06:31:29.37
Dec = +24:21:45.9 (+/- 1 arcsec)
This object is not detected in subsequent SDSS-i frames. Fading is yet
to be confirmed.
