(TokyoTech) report on behalf of the MITSuME collaboration:
We observed the field of GRB 210802A (V. Lipunov et al. GCN Circular
#30586, P. A. Evans et al. GCN Circular #30587, F. Longo et al. GCN
Circular #30589, O.J. Roberts et al. GCN Circular #30590, B.
Sbarufatti et al. GCN Circular #30591, Y.-D. Hu et al. GCN Circular
#30592, Alan M. Watson et al. GCN Circular #30593) with the optical
three color (g', Rc, and Ic) CCD cameras attached to the MITSuME 50 cm
telescope Okayama. The observation with a series of 60 sec exposures
started at 2021-08-03 10:34:24 UT (14.4 hours after Fermi trigger). We
stacked the images with good conditions. We did not detect any
uncatalogued sources within the XRT error region (B. Sbarufatti et al.
GCN Circular #30591). We obtained the 5-sigma limits of the stacked
images as follows.
T0+[hour] MID-UT T-EXP[sec] 5-sigma limits
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
15.8 2021-08-03 11:54:24 1080 Rc>17.2, Ic>16.9
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
T0+ : Elapsed time after the burst
T-EXP: Total Exposure time
We used 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. 2021, PASJ, Vol.73, Issue 1, Pages
4-24; https://github.com/MNiwano/Eclaire).
