on behalf of a larger collaboration:
We observed the field of GRB 221009A (Dichiara et al., GCN 32632;
Veres et al., GCN 32636) using the T120cm telescope at Observatoire
de Haute-Provence (France). Four exposures were obtained in the
r band (2x300s + 2x600s), three exposures in the i band (3x600s)
and the z band (1x300s + 2x900s) from 2022 12 Oct 19:11:05 UT to
2022 12 Oct 20:41:23 UT (mid time ~78h after trigger). In the
combined frame, we clearly detect the source in the three filters
and obtain the following magnitudes:
r = 20.23 ± 0.09 mag (AB)
i = 18.91 ± 0.11 mag (AB)
z = 18.35 ± 0.13 mag (AB)
The photometric calibration was performed using nearby stars from
the PanSTARRS catalog and magnitudes are not corrected for Galactic
extinction.
These values are consistent with observations obtained at a similar
time by Bikmaev et al. (GCN 32743).
Further observations using the MISTRAL instrument mounted on the
T193-OHP are planned for the coming nights.
We acknowledge the excellent support from Observatoire de Haute Provence,
in particular François Huppert and Jérome Schmitt.
