(Hiroshima Univ.) report on behalf of Kanata team:
We performed optical observations of GRB 130511A (Krimm et al., GCN 14620)
with HOWPol attached to the 1.5-m Kanata telescope at Higashi-Hiroshima
Observatory, Japan. The observation started at 11:32 UT on 2013 May 11
with imaging-polarimetry mode, followed by observation with imaging mode
after 12:10 UT. We detected the optical afterglow of the GRB.
Photometric results are shown below. We calibrated the Rc magnitude using
USNO-B1.0 R2 magnitudes of nearby stars. Our result seems to be consistent
with the brightness upper-limits reported in Xin et al. (GCN 14623) and
Kuroda et al. (GCN 14625). The decline rate between these two epochs can
be approximated by a single power-law with an index of -0.7.
