Guziy (Univ. of Nikolaev) and D. R. Xiong, Y. F. Fan, J. M. Bai, C. J. Wang, Y. X. Xin, X. H. Zhao (Yunnan Observatories of CAS) on behalf of a larger collaboration, report:
Following the detection of GRB 210406A by INTEGRAL (Mereghetti et al. GCNC 29767), the 0.6m BOOTES-4/MET robotic telescope at Lijiang Astronomical Observatory (China) automatically responded to the burst starting on Apr 6 at 17:13:27 UT (~2 min after trigger). No new source is detected within the refined IBIS position (Mereghetti et al. GCNC 29767) down to 20.7 mag in the co-added image (878 s on the aggregate, clear filer). The non-detection is consistent with the limit reported by MASTER (Lipunov et al. GCNC 29766).
We thank the staff at Lijiang observatory for their excellent support.
