MASTER Global robotic net (http://observ.pereplet.ru Lipunov et al.,2010,Advances in Astronomy,2010,30L)
started Fermi (GCN 35908,trig=05:40:08) GRB 240310A inspection (cover map in Lipunov et al. GCN 35910)
in MASTER-Amur, MASTER-SAAO, AMSTER-Tunka, MASTER-Kislovodsk, MASTER-Tavrida
During inspection inside 3-sigma error-box (see map in GCN35910)
MASTER auto-detection system found new OT, not presented in MASTER database since 2003, in VIZIER, in CRTS database
MASTER OT J200702.72-263928.7 / AT2024efb discovery
OT source at (RA, Dec) = 20h 07m 02.72s -26d 39m 28.7s on 2024-03-12.06429 UT.
The OT unfiltered magnitude is 16.8m at 3 images (mlim=18.7).
There is no minor planet at this place (we excluded 1999CO47 with m_V=20.8m in 14.4"W,0.6"N ).
We used reference image on 2018-10-07.86227 UT with unfiltered mlim=19.9m between thousands archive images.
Spectral observations are required.
the association of this object with the gamma ray burst is not obvious
