Xin (Yunnan Nacional Astronomical Observatory) on behalf of a larger
collaboration, report:
Following the detection of GRB 191122A by Swift (Sbarufatti et al. GCNC
26269), the 0.6m BOOTES-4/MET robotic telescope at Lijiang Astronomical
Observatory (China) started to gather images at 13:34 UT (~94s after
trigger). No optical afterglow is found down to 20.3 mag (unfiltered
images) at the enhaced Swift/XRT position (Evans et al. GCNC 26270),
consistent with the non-detections by Swift/UVOT (Sbarufatti et al. GCNC
26269) and CHES (Sun et al. GCNC 26271). Observations are ongoing."
We thank the staff at Lijiang Astronomical Observatory for their
excellent support.
