(TokyoTech) report on behalf of the MITSuME collaboration:
We observed the field of GRB 201214B (The Fermi GBM team, GCN #29039,
P. Evans et al., GCN #29043, V. Lipunov et al., GCN #29044, D. Palmer
et al., GCN #29045, B. Sbarufatti et al., GCN #29052 ) with the
optical three color (g', Rc, and Ic) CCD cameras attached to the
MITSuME 50 cm telescope of Akeno Observatory, Yamanashi, Japan. The
observation with a series of 60 sec exposures started at 2020-12-15
18:51:41 UT(28.8 hour after trigger). We did not find any new point
sources within the enhanced Swift BAT circle (D. Palmer et al., GCN
#29045) in all three bands.
We obtained the 5-sigma limits of the stacked images as follows
T0+[hour] MID-UT T-EXP[sec] 5-sigma limits
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
28.8 18:51:41 10380 g'>20.9,Rc>21.0,Ic>20.3
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
T0+ : Elapsed time after the burst
T-EXP: Total Exposure time
We used the PS1 catalog for flux calibration.
The magnitudes are expressed in the AB system.
The images were processed in real-time through the MITSuME GPU
reduction pipeline (Niwano et al.,
