E. Mazaeva (IKI), N. Pankov (HSE, IKI), A. Pozanenko (IKI), N. Kapitanov (INASAN), A. Moskvitin (SAO RAS) report on behalf of the IKI-GRB-FuN collaboration:

We performed optical observations of the field of GRB 250101A (Page et. al, GCN 38752; Li et. al, GCN 38753; Mohan et. al, GCN 38754; Zhu et. al, GCN 38755; Budnev et. al, GCN 38756; Wu et. al, GCN 38758; Zhu et. al, GCN 38759; Goad et. al, GCN 38761; Moskvitin et. al, GCN 38762; Odeh et. al, GCN 38763; Hu et. al, GCN 38764; Moskvitin et. al, GCN 38765; D'Avino et. al, GCN 38768; Escudero-Coca et. al, GCN 38769; Leonini et. al, GCN 38771; Dichiara et. al, GCN 38773; Zhang et. al, GCN 38774; Siegel, GCN 38775; Li et. al, GCN 38776; Komesh et. al, GCN 38777; Ghosh et. al, GCN 38779; Moskvitin et al., GCN 38780; Krimm et. al, GCN 38782; Komesh et. al, GCN 38790; Méndez-Lapido et. al, GCN 38810; Gupta et. al, GCN 38818; Ferro et. al, GCN 38831; Lin et. al, GCN 38837; Pankov et. al., GCN 38869; Pankov et. al, GCN 38890) in the R filter with the 2-meter Zeiss-2000 telescope of the Terskol observatory starting on 2025-01-01 17:27 UT, i.e. ~4.8 hours since trigger. The preliminary photometry of the optical afterglow is as follows:

Date       UT start  t-T0         Exp.    Filter   OT     Err.  UL(3sigma)
                     (mid, days)  (s)

2025-01-02 14:57:45  1.07870      57*30   R        22.13  0.33  22.1
2025-01-02 21:44:44  1.35811      39*30   R        21.93  0.28  22.1
2025-01-03 18:02:09  2.22881      90*60   R        n/d    n/d   22.7

The photometry is based on nearby stars from the PS1 catalog (Lupton 2005 transformations). No correction has been made for the Galactic extinction. The obtained results confirm the re-brightening visible in other observations (Moskvitin et. al, GCN 38765; Pankov et. al, GCN 38890).
