Derek B. Fox (Penn State) and S. Bradley Cenko (Caltech) report on
behalf of a larger collaboration:
"The Robotic 60-inch Telescope at Palomar Observatory (P60) responded
automatically to Swift Trigger 150139, recording a series of images
beginning at 06:50:30 UT, approximately 6 minutes after the burst.
Visual inspection of these images does not reveal any new objects by
comparison to the second-generation DSS images (XDSS). Times and
approximate limits (calibrated against USNO-B1.0 catalog photometry)
for new point sources within the BAT error circle are as follows:
Band Exp Epoch Limit
==========================================
R 60s 06:51:00 R > 18.3 mag
i 60s 06:53:22 I > 17.0 mag
R 3x60s 06:58:18 R > 18.9 mag
==========================================
Observations will continue as long as the source is visible."
