A. Bochenek, D. A. Perley (LJMU), report:
We observed the field of GRB 251205A (Lanava et al., GCN 43005) using the IO:O optical camera on the 2m robotic Liverpool Telescope. We obtained 4x100s exposures the SDSS i and r filters starting at 2025-12-06 05:37:14 UT, approximately 5.95 hours after trigger.
Some exposures were affected by telescope movement and had to be discarded. We report detections in both filters, at the position first reported by Lanava et al. GCN 43005:
MJD (mid) T_mid-T_0 Filter Mag. (AB)
61015.23465 5.97 h i 17.93 ± 0.05
61015.24283 6.16 h r 18.06 ± 0.03
The photometry is consistent with measurements by Lanava et al. GCN43005; Lipunov et al. GCN 43006; de Ugarte Postigo et al. GCN 43008; Malesani et al. GCN 43009; O’Neill et al., GCN 43010; Mandarakas et al. GCN 43011 and Pankov et al., GCN 43012. The photometry was obtained using nearby PanSTARRS secondary standards and was not corrected for extinction.
