N. Pankov (HSE, IKI), R. Ya. Inasaridze (AbAO), A. Pozanenko (IKI) report
on behalf of IKI GRB-FuN:
We observed the entire localisation region of BAT-GUANO/Swift of GRB250331D
(Ronchini et al., GCN 39979), initially detected by GBM/Fermi (Fermi GBM
team, GCN 39961) with AS-32 telescope of AbAO starting on 2025-03-31 (UT)
18:56:37. We report the results of optical transient searches in five
XRT/Swift localisations reported in
https://www.swift.ac.uk/ToO_GRBs/00021825/ and (Melandri et al., GCN
39998). Details of the preliminary photometry of the stacked image and the
sources detected so far are given below.
