P. Reig (U. of Crete/FORTH) & G.V. Panopoulou (Caltech) reporting on behalf
of the RoboPol collaboration:
We observed the optical transient OTJ033744.97+723159.0 (Lipunov et al. GCN 21720,
GCN 21736), on 2017-08-29.07UT with the RoboPol polarimeter at the Skinakas observatory
1.3-m telescope. Preliminary analysis shows that the R-band fractional polarization of
the source is 1.8+-0.47%. It is consistent with polarization of nearby field stars.
Further observations are scheduled.
