A. Volnova (SAI MSU/IKI), L. Elenin (KIAM), V. Rumyantsev (CrAO),
A.Pozanenko (IKI) report on behalf of larger GRB follow-up collaboration:
We observed the field of GRB 120802A (Holland et al., GCN 13555) with
Shajn telescope of CrAO starting on Aug. 15 (UT) 23:00:26. We took several
images in R-filter under mean seeing of 2.8". In a stacked image we do not
detect the object suggested as optical counterpart of GRB 120802A (Elenin et
al., GCN 13609) up to 22.5 m. Thus we can confirm the object reported in
(Elenin et al., GCN 13609) is most probably is an afterglow of GRB 120802A.
A photometry of the filed is based on nearby USNO-B1.0 (R2) stars:
T0+, Filter Exposure, OT, UL (3 sigma)
mid, d (s)
13.625 R 3540 n/d 22.5
We are grateful for CCD PL4240 provided by ISON for Shajn telescope.
