F. Yuan (U Mich), W. Rujopakarn (U Mich), E.S. Rykoff (U Mich), S.A.
Yost (U Mich), report on behalf of the ROTSE collaboration:
ROTSE-IIId, located at the Turkish National Observatory at Bakirlitepe,
Turkey, responded to GRB 060111 (Swift trigger 176818), producing images
beginning 5 s after the GCN notice time. An automated response took the
first image at 04:23:23.2 UT, 17.1 s after the burst, under twilight
conditions. We took 10 5-sec eposures before the individual images were
saturated due to twilight. These unfiltered images are calibrated
relative to USNO A2.0 (R).
Comparison to the DSS (second epoch) reveals no new sources within the
3-sigma error circle and particularly at the XRT position, for both
single images and coadding into sets of 10. Individual images have
limiting magnitudes ranging from 13.4-13.8; we set the following
specific limits.
