(U. Bath), A. Gomboc (U. Nova Gorica), I.A. Steele (LJMU) on behalf of a
large collaboration report:
The 2-m robotic Liverpool Telescope automatically began observing Swift
GRB 180904A (D'Ai et al. GCN 23194) with the polarimeter RINGO3 and the
IO:O camera on September 04, 21:32:12 UT (219 seconds from the GRB
trigger time). Within the enhanced Swift-XRT error circle (Osborne et
al. GCN 23196) we do not detect any object down to a limit of r' > 21.2
mag in a 6x10s exposure at a mid time of 37 minutes post burst, as
calibrated against nearby Pan-STARRS objects, in agreement with previous
reports (Malesani et al. GCN 23195; Izzo et al. GCN 23197; Moskvitin et
al. GCN 23198).
