N. Pankov (IKI), R. Ya. Inasaridze (AbAO), A. Moskvitin (SAO RAS), V. Aivazyan (AbAO), A. Pozanenko (IKI), A. Volnova (IKI) report on behalf of IKI-GRB-FuN:
We observed the field of GRB 260610B (The Fermi GBM team, GCN 44891; GCN 44901) with the AS-32 70-cm telescope of the Abastumani Astrophysical Observatory (AbAO). We acquired a series of 98x60 sec images in the R-band using a CCD-photometer, starting on 2026-06-12 20:18 UT (i.e. 1.856 days since trigger). The OT (O'Neill et al., GCN 44903; 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 and Perley, GCN 44927; Moskvitin et al., GCN 44929; Akl et al., GCN 44930; Bochenek & Perley, GCN 44932; Pankov et al., GCN 44946; Gillanders et al., GCN 44955; Angulo et al., GCN 44958; Dimple et al., GCN 44959; Moskvitin et al., GCN 44963) is detected in the co-add image of 96x60 sec. The observational properties and preliminary photometry are provided further:
