We continued to observe the field of GRB 200613A (Fermi GBM team, GCN
27926; Bissaldi et al., GCN 27930; Ohno et al., GCN 27931) using the
Xinglong-2.16m telescope equipped with the BFOSC camera. Observations
were carried out starting at 12:55:02 UT on 2020-06-16, and 5x300s
R-band frames were obtained.
The optical afterglow (e.g., Kann et al., GCN 27935; Kennea et al., GCN
27936; Pozanenko et al., GCN 27937; Izzo et al., GCN 27939; Zhu et al.,
GCN 27943; Marshall, GCN 27944; Liu et al., GCN 27949; Belkin et al.,
GCN 27958) is still well detected in our stacked image, with R = 21.07
+/- 0.21 mag (at Tmid-T0 = 3.3175 days post-burst), calibrated with
nearby Pan-STARRS1.
Compared with our previous measurements, the afterglow now has turned to
decay quickly, with a temporal decay index of \alpha ~ 2.5 and a break
time of ~ 2.3 days post-burst. This break can be interpreted as a jet break.
Further observations are planned.
