report:
"The 2-m Liverpool Telescope robotically followed up GRB 130606A
(SWIFT trigger 557589; Ukwatta et al., GCN 14781) 38.52 min after the
GRB trigger time.
We detect a fading source in i' and z' bands consistent with the
position reported by Xu et al. (GCN 14783) with magnitudes
Filter Magnitude t since trigger (min)
i' 18.60 +/- 0.02 45.02
i' 18.67 +/- 0.02 55.48
i' 18.89 +/- 0.03 83.00
z' 16.65 +/- 0.02 47.74
z' 16.80 +/- 0.03 61.47
Magnitudes are calibrate against SDSS catalogued field stars.
Observations and analysis are ongoing.
