Abdikamalov (NU) report on behalf of the Energetic Cosmos Laboratory:\n\nThe Nazarbayev University Transient Telescope at Assy-Turgen Astrophysical Observatory (NUTTelA-TAO) pointed at GRB 250101A on receipt of an automated GCN / BAT position alert, observing in Sloan g' and r' bands, with the Burst Simultaneous Three-Channel Imager (BSTI; Grossan, Kumar & Smoot 2019, JHEA, 32, 14).\n\nWe started observations at 13:24:00 UT on 2025-01-01, 70 s after the BAT trigger. Observations were made in partly cloudy conditions. A new and changing source consistent with the XRT position (M.R. Goad et al., GCN 38761) was detected. Note that these observations provide essentially full-time coverage, simultaneous in two bands. We report the following photometric values for the optical transient: \n\ntc-t0(s)    g'(mag) err   r'(mag) err  exposure_time (s)\n--------------------------------------------------------------\n100     18.66  0.07     18.20  0.07     57\n166     17.64  0.12     17.24  0.12     15\n181     17.51  0.10     16.98  0.14     15\n196     17.11  0.09     16.87  0.12     15\n211     17.34  0.13     16.90  0.09     15\n226     17.37  0.12     16.77  0.12     15\n241     17.31  0.09     16.65  0.06     15\n256     17.30  0.11     16.79  0.06     15\n271     17.43  0.09     16.85  0.10     15\n286     17.37  0.11     16.89  0.08     15\n301     17.50  0.16     17.02  0.08     15\n316     17.68  0.20     17.01  0.08     15\n331     17.52  0.15     17.01  0.10     15\n346     17.67  0.11     17.08  0.09     15\n361     17.60  0.11     17.13  0.09     15\n376     17.62  0.15     16.95  0.13     15\n391     17.96  0.14     16.91  0.08     15\n406     17.61  0.15     17.39  0.13     15\n421     17.81  0.13     17.23  0.12     15\n436     17.46  0.13     17.41  0.12     15\n451     18.10  0.15     17.41  0.11     15\n466     17.78  0.17     17.30  0.11     15\n481     17.81  0.13     17.29  0.10     15\n496     17.70  0.15     17.36  0.15     15\n511     17.92  0.13     17.45  0.11     15\n526     17.68  0.12     17.46  0.12     15\n541     18.30  0.19     17.53  0.13     15\n556     17.86  0.18     17.34  0.13     15\n571     17.96  0.14     17.31  0.14     15\n586     17.66  0.16     17.43  0.11     15\n601     18.16  0.17     17.82  0.14     15\n616     17.90  0.15     17.72  0.16     15\n631     17.85  0.13     17.23  0.11     15\n653     18.12  0.12     17.58  0.10     30\n683     18.06  0.10     17.47  0.07     30\n713     18.05  0.10     17.54  0.09     30\n743     18.01  0.10     17.46  0.08     30\n864     18.20  0.05     17.54  0.04     60\n924     18.17  0.07     17.67  0.06     60\n984     18.21  0.06     17.67  0.04     60\n1044    18.26  0.06     17.77  0.04     60\n1104    18.37  0.07     17.81  0.05     60\n1164    18.33  0.06     17.81  0.05     60\n1224    18.46  0.07     17.82  0.05     60\n1284    18.48  0.07     17.91  0.05     60\n1344    18.56  0.07     17.84  0.05     60\n1404    18.43  0.06     18.04  0.05     60\n1464    18.43  0.07     18.15  0.06     60\n1524    18.63  0.07     18.12  0.06     60\n1584    18.66  0.08     18.19  0.07     60\n1644    18.73  0.08     18.26  0.07     60\n1704    18.70  0.08     18.18  0.06     60\n1764    18.66  0.08     18.23  0.06     60\n1824    18.81  0.08     18.38  0.08     60\n1884    18.82  0.08     18.39  0.07     60\n1944    19.01  0.10     18.27  0.07     60\n2004    18.83  0.10     18.43  0.08     60\n2064    18.87  0.09     18.33  0.07     60\n2124    18.75  0.08     18.34  0.07     60\n2184    18.99  0.10     18.46  0.08     60\n2244    18.97  0.10     18.49  0.08     60\n2304    18.90  0.09     18.48  0.09     60\n2364    19.21  0.12     18.45  0.08     60\n2424    19.01  0.10     18.43  0.07     60\n2484    18.95  0.10     18.64  0.09     60\n2544    19.10  0.10     18.64  0.09     60\n2604    18.98  0.10     18.77  0.10     60\n2664    19.12  0.11     18.76  0.10     60\n2724    18.93  0.10     18.78  0.10     60\n2784    19.23  0.12     18.85  0.11     60\n2844    19.18  0.12     18.78  0.11     60\n2904    19.43  0.15     18.59  0.09     60\n2964    19.15  0.12     18.92  0.12     60\n3024    19.23  0.13     18.72  0.11     60\n3084    19.19  0.13     18.65  0.11     60\n3144    19.30  0.15     18.87  0.13     60\n3204    19.18  0.13     19.07  0.16     60\n3294    19.42  0.13     18.86  0.10     120\n3414    19.38  0.13     18.70  0.09     120\n3534    19.41  0.08     19.05  0.14     120\n3654    19.38  0.15     18.96  0.14     120\n3774    19.37  0.17     19.00  0.16     120\n4166    19.65  0.11     18.89  0.08     360\n4526    19.82  0.19     19.17  0.13     360\n\ntc-t0 = trigger time minus image center time. Calibration was done with 5 bright Pan-STARRS catalog stars on our images. A light curve of the optical transient is presented in Figure 1: https://ecl.nu.edu.kz/research/observations/gamma-ray-bursts/grb250101a\n\nOur results are in agreement with those reported in previously published circulars (Li et al., GCN 38753; Mohan et al., GCN 38754; Wu et al., GCN 38758; Escudero-Coca et al., GCN 38769; Zhang et al., 38744).\n\nWe caution the reader that these are preliminary results, without color or other corrections, and will likely change in small measure. Please also note that times are approximate.\n\n\n----------------------------------\nNU = Nazarbayev University, Astana, Kazakhstan\nUCB = University of California, Berkeley, USA\nFAI = Fesenkov Astrophysical Institute, Kazakhstan\n\nThis research has been funded by the Science Committee of the Ministry of Science and Higher Education of the Republic of Kazakhstan (Grant No. AP26103591).
