Subject
GRB 140620A / iPTF14cva: Konkoly optical observations
Date
2014-06-22T23:56:29Z (10 years ago)
From
Janos Kelemen at Konkoly Obs/Hungary <kelemen@konkoly.hu>
J. Kelemen (kelemen at konkoly.hu) on behalf of the GRB OT observing program
at the Konkoly Observatory.

Starting on the evening of 21/06/2014 UT we observed the field of GRB 140620A
(Fermi GBM reported trigger 424934131 at 2014-06-20 05:15:28.02 UT) 
150898 sec. after the burst, using a 60/90/180 cm Schmidt telescope 
located at the Mountain Station of the Konkoly Observatory . On the 
coadded R images (total exp.time 900 sec) we easily detected the OT at the
position reported by M. M. Kasliwal et al. (GCN 16425)

Based on the nearby UCAC-4 stars we provide 21.9 +/- 0.15 magnitude in the R
band for the OT.
