A. Bochenek, D. A. Perley (LJMU), report:
We observed the field of the optical counterpart (O'Neil et al., GCN 44903) of GRB 260610b (Fu et al., GCN 44901) using the IO:O optical camera on the 2m robotic Liverpool Telescope. We obtained 5x120s exposures in SDSS griz filters, starting at 2026-06-13 01:22:29 UT, approximately 2.07 days after Fermi trigger.
Some exposures had to be discarded prior to stacking. We detect a source in the images in all filters at the position reported by O'Neil et al. (GCN 44903), observed also by Watson et al. (GCN 44905); Zhu et al. (GCN 44909); Gillanders et al. (GCN 44910); Akl et al. (GCN 44911); O'Neill et al. (GCN 44914); Moskvitin et al. (GCN 44918); Jackson-Horne et al. (GCN 44919); Izzo, (GCN 44920), Li et al. (GCN 44921), Bochenek et al. (GCN 44927), Moskvitin et al. (GCN 44929); and Akl et al. (GCN 44930) . The photometry is:
| MJD (mid) | T_mid-T_0 | Filter | Mag. (AB) |
|---------------|-------------|-----------|---------------|
| 61204.05962 | 49.66 h | r | 21.05 ± 0.07 |
| 61204.07237 | 49.97 h | i | 20.61 ± 0.09 |
| 61204.07751 | 50.08 h | z | 20.28 ± 0.12 |
| 61204.08753 | 50.33 h | g | 21.40 ± 0.14 |
The photometry was calibrated using nearby PanSTARRS secondary standards and was not corrected for extinction.
