Molotov (KIAM), A. Pozanenko (IKI) report on behalf of larger GRB
follow-up collaboration:
We observed the field of Swift GRB 131108A (Racusin et al., GCN 15464,
Hurley et al. GCN 15466) with AZT-8 telescope of Institute of
Astronomy, Kharkiv National University and with AS-32 telescope of
Abastumani Observatory. We obtained several images in R-filter and
also non-fileterd images. Within the enhanced XRT circle (Stroth &
Kennea, GCN 15474) we detect the optical counterpart reported by
Gorosabel et al. (GCN 15469).
The details of preliminary photometry are following:
UT start t-T0 Filter Exp. OT
(mid, days) (s)
2013-11-10T02:00:12 1.24560 R 15x300 20.92 +/- 0.12
2013-11-11T00:44:00 2.21609 None 36x120 21.20 +/- 0.11
The photometry is based the SDSS stars, R magnitude (gri -> R
transformations by Lupton 2005):
