N. Pankov (HSE, IKI), A. Pozanenko (IKI), E. Klunko (ISTP), R. Ya. Inasaridze (AbAO) report on behalf of IKI-GRB-FuN:
We observed the field of GRB 250407A detected by Fermi (the Fermi GBM team, GCN 40104; Preis & Greiner, GCN 40105; Mukherjee & Meegan, GCN 40114), SRG (Molkov et. al, GCN 40110), Swift (Evans, GCN 40111; Dichiara et. al, GCN 40113), EP (Zheng et. al, GCN 40119), Konus-Wind (Frederiks et. al, GCN 40121) with the 1.5-meter AZT-33IK telescope of the Sayan Solar Observatory (Mondy), and the 0.7-meter AS-32 telescope of the Abastumani Astrophysical Observatory (AbAO). The R-band observations began on 2025-04-08 at 18:01:15 UT, i.e. ~1.12 days since trigger at AbAO. The optical counterpart (Zheng & Fillipenko, GCN 40116; Ducoin et. al, GCN 40117; Pérez-Fournon et. al, GCN 40125) is marginally detected in the stacked image taken with AZT-33IK. The preliminary photometry is as follows:
