in particular ZTF23aaxeacr candidate afterglow (16:36:31.483 +47:51:32.26) (Salgundi et al. GCN 34397Not found
 
 
) 


The first observation began about 22.56 hours from the trigger.


As time reference (T0), we choose: 2023-08-12T18:58:12 (60168.79041667 MJD) (Fermi GBM Team 34386)

In the following table we report a subset of the preliminary photometry
of our observations. Magnitudes and upper limits are reported
in the AB system.

KAO data has been calibrated with respect to the PS1 catalog.
Abastumani-T70 data has been calibrated with respect to the PS1 catalog, with the Johnson cousin conversion into sloan r.
FRAM-CTA-N data has been calibrated with respect to the APASS catalog.

GRANDMA is a worldwide coordinated telescope network
(grandma.ijclab.in2p3.fr)  devoted to the observation of transients
in the context of multi-messenger astrophysics (Antier et al. 2020 MNRAS
497, 5518). Kilonova-Catcher (KNC) is the citizen science program of
GRANDMA (http://kilonovacatcher.in2p3.fr/).
