Collaboration
We observed the field of the UVOT transient (Breeveld et al. GCN 24296)
with a Las Cumbres Observatory 1m telescope at the South African
Astronomical Observatory in the g and r bands starting at 2019-04-27 21:40
UT. We do not see the transient down to a g-band limiting magnitude of
roughly 21.8, and an r-band limiting magnitude of 21.5 (determined by
comparison to PS1 images).
