MASTER OT J042553.42-402420.7 discovery as possibly counterpart of GRB 220921A
AT2022vjw
MASTER-SAAO auto-detection system ( Lipunov et al., "MASTER Global Robotic Net", Advances in Astronomy, 2010, 30L )
discovered OT source at (RA, Dec) = 04h 25m 53.42s -40d 24m 20.7s on
2022-09-21.82255 UT during Fermi trigger 685451164 inspection(T0=2022-09-21 11:05:59.07)
(Lipunov et al. GCN 32569, Fermi-LAT GCN 32568, also detected by GECAM-B)
https://master.sai.msu.ru/site/master2/event.php?id=2097239 .
The OT unfiltered magnitude is 17.8m (automatic), mlim=19.8.
The OT is seen in 24 images. There is no minor planet at this place.
We have 600 reference images without any OT since 2014, for ex., on
2018-11-12.98741 UT with unfiltered mlim=20.3m.
Spectral observations are required.
There is possible host galaxy in VIZIER database (DES, rmag=24.3)
