D. A. Kann reports on behalf of the Tautenburg GRB Team:
I observed the field of Swift GRB 060124 (S. T. Holland et al., GCN 4570) with the
Tautenburg 1.34m Schmidt telescope equipped with the 2k x 2k Schmidt CCD
camera. Observations were obtained under good conditions and low airmass,
beginning at 16:54:54 UT, i.e. one hour after the burst, in twilight. I obtained 6 x 180
sec frames each in V, Rc and Ic.
A visual inspection of the Swift BAT error circle in comparison to the DSS 2 infrared
plate reveals no obvious afterglow candidate to the following rough limits:
t (mid) UT Filter Limit
0.0427 Ic > 17
0.0559 Ic > 18
0.0587 Rc > 20
0.0746 V > 20
These values are not corrected for the moderate Galactic extinction (E(B-V)=0.135).
Further analysis is in progress.
