Fernandez-Garcia, A. Ayala, A. J. Castro-Tirado (IAA-CSIC), ��A.
Castellon, I. Carrasco (Univ. de Malaga) on behalf of a
larger collaboration, report:
"Following the detection of GRB 190219A by Swift/BAT (Beardmore et al.
GCNC 23902), the 0.3m BOOTES-1B robotic telescope in Mazagon (Huelva),
southern Spain, responded automatically starting at 19:40:59 UT (121s
after trigger; 82s after the alert). No optical afterglow is found down
to 19 mag (unfiltered) on the co-added (50x10s) frames within the
Swift/XRT error box (Evans et al. GCNC 23903), consistent with the
non-detection by Swift/UVOT (Beardmore et al. GCNC 23902). Observations
are ongoing".
