), using the 0.7-m telescope of the Thai Robotic Telescope network (TRT), located at Cerro Tololo Inter-American Observatory, Chile. Observations started at 06:27:50.5 UTC on 2025-08-05, i.e., ~ 0.3 hr after the Swift/BAT trigger, and 10 x 200 s frames were obtained in the Sloan r- and i- bands.

No new optical source is detected in the co-added r- and i-band images within the Swift/XRT error circle (Kennea et al, GCN 41234

). The limiting magnitudes are as follow:

Tmid(s)bandupper limit(3sigma)
2746.99i20.7
3545.62r20.8

The magnitudes are calibrated against Legacy Survey DR10 and are not corrected for Galactic extinction.
