W. Rujopakarn (U Mich), T.A. McKay (U Mich), F. Yuan (U Mich), H. Swan
(U Mich), D.A. Smith (Guilford), S. A. Yost (U Mich) report on behalf
of the ROTSE collaboration:
ROTSE-IIIb, located at McDonald Observatory, Texas, responded to GRB
060110 (Zane al. GCN 4463). The first image was at 08:01:44.8 UT, 27.1
s after the burst (9 s after the GCN notice time). Imaging is shallow
due to the brightness of the Moon. The unfiltered images are calibrated
relative to USNO A2.0 R-band. We detect the source reported by Bloom
(GCN 4471) near the limiting magnitude of the early coadded exposures.
It was ~15.5 mag at about 50 s post-trigger, in an image at limiting
magnitude 16.0
Further data analyses are in progress.
