A. Moskvitin, O. Spiridonova (SAO RAS), N. Pankov (HSE, IKI), E. Klunko (ISTP), A. Pozanenko (IKI) report on behalf of GRB follow-up and IKI-GRB-FuN collaborations.
We observed the field of the GRB 250617B (Page et al., GCN 40760;
Fermi GBM team, GCN 40763; Bala and Meegan, GCN 40766; Osborne et al., GCN 40767; Williams et al., GCN 40773; Laha et al., GCN 40812) at the redshift of z = 1.396 (Corcoran et al., GCN 40776) with the 1.5-meter AZT-33IK telescope of Mondy observatory on 2025-06-23 and with the 1-m telescope Zeiss-1000 of the SAO RAS on 2025-06-24.
