We carried out two-epoch observations of GRB 250818B (Wang et al., GCN 41405), using the 0.7-m telescope of the Thai Robotic Telescope network (TRT), located at Fresno, California, U.S.A (SRO) and New South Wales, Australia (SBO), respectively. And we obtained several frames in the B, V, R & I band.
The optical afterglow (Kumar et al., GCN 41406; Yao et al., GCN 41409; Zheng et al., GCN 41417; Bendtsen et al., GCN 41426; Moskvitin et al., GCN 41428) was clearly detected in our stack frames. The photometric results are presented in the following table:
|mid time(h)|filter|mag(Vega)|site|
|--|--|--|--|
|7.75|R|19.98+/-0.06|SRO|
|12.64|R|20.23+/-0.06|SBO|
The presented magnitudes are calibrated with Pan-STARRS DR2 catalog and not corrected for Galactic extinction.
