H. Kirbiyik (TUG) report on behalf of a larger collaboration
We observed the field of Swift GRB 130606A (Ukwatta et al. GCN#14781)
with the 1.0 meter T100 telescope (TUBITAK National Observatory,
Antalya - Turkey), starting June, 6, 22:43:53 UT (~ 1.6 hours after
the trigger). Observations were carried out in the R filter under moderate
weather conditions. We detected a new source in 300 s R band
image at a position that is consistent with Xu et al. GCN#14783
Using USNO-B1 star USNO-B1 1198-0251348 (RA= 16:37:32.14 , Dec=
+29:51:58.15 ) in the field, the magnitude of the OT were estimated as 20.6
+/-0.2.
Further observations using the same filter are ongoing.
We are grateful to the TUBITAK National Observatory staff for promptly
scheduling the observations and their technical support.
