C. Guidorzi (U. Ferrara) on behalf of a large collaboration reports:
The 2-m Faulkes Telescope North automatically began observing GRB
131002A on October 02 2013 at 06:57:26 UT (~3.1 min after the burst
trigger).
Within the XRT error circle we find a fading uncatalogued object at
coordinates
RA(2000.0)= 16:52:52.86
Dec(2000.0)= +82:03:16.4 (error 0.5")
with R=15.2 +- 0.2 mag, calibrated against nearby USNOB-1 stars.
