We observed the field of GRB 260610B (Fermi Team, GCN Circ. 44901) with the DDOTI wide-field imager at the Observatorio Astronómico Nacional on Sierra San Pedro Mártir from 2026-06-11 04:53 to 05:44 UTC (5.1 to 5.9 hours after the trigger) obtaining total exposure of 27 minutes.
We detect the candidate afterglow GOTO26fua/AT2026owq reported by O'Neill et al. (GCN Circ. 44903) with a preliminary AB magnitude of:
w = 18.82 +/- 0.04
Compared to the observations reported by O'Neill et al. at 0.21 hours, the candidate continues to fade and has an estimated temporal decay index of approximately −0.6, in agreement with that measured by O'Neill et al. between 0.21 and 1.4 hours.
We thank the staff of the Observatorio Astronómico Nacional on the Sierra of San Pedro Mártir.
