Following the detection of GRB 251007A by Swift (Ambrosi et al. GCNC 42146), we triggered the 1.5m OSN telescope in Granada (Spain) starting on Oct. 08 at 04:17:06 UT (~8.8 hrs post burst), a series of I-band image was gathered. In the stacked image, the optical afterglow is detected within the Swift/XRT error region (Beardmore et al. GCNC 42161) with I=21.21+-0.19.
About 20 mins later, the 2.2m CAHA telescope (+ CAFOS) at the Calar Alto Observatory (Almeria, Spain) also triggered to start taking images with Sloan-griz filters. The optical afterglow is detected in the stacked image with i=22.0+-0.3.
These detections are consistent with the reports from UVOT (Ambrosi et al. GCNC 42146), MASTER (Lipunov et al. GCNC 42149), SVOM/C-GFT (Wu et al. GCNC 42154), AKO (Odeh et al. GCNC 42157), NOT (Malesani et al. GCNC 42158) and SVOM/VT (Li et al. GCNC 42163).
We thank the staff at OSN and Calar Alto observatory for their excellent support.
