Farah (LCO/UCSB) report on behalf of a wider Global Supernova Project collaboration:

We observed the field of GRB 250327B (SVOM team, GCN 39888

) with the 1-m telescope, starting on 025-03-28T02:38:50.16 UT (60762.11 MJD, ~5.5 hours after the trigger) using the Sinistro instrument in g, r, i bands (exposure of 2×200 s). We clearly detect the optical counterpart as reported in previous circulars ( Moskvitin+ GCN , Xin+ GCN , O’Neill+ GCN , Malesani+ GCN , Lian+ GCN ). Preliminary photometric data are as follows:

g = 20.7 +-0.1 r = 19.4 +-0.1 i = 18.8 +- 0.1

These values were calculated with respect to ATLAS-REFCAT2 (Tonry et al. 2018, ApJ 867 105) catalog. They are not corrected for galactic extinction. This source is fading compared to the magnitude reported in Malesani+ GCN 39893
