UNC team of the FUN GRB collaboration:
We observed the localization of GRB 060202 (Fox et al., GCN 4629; Morris et
al., GCN 4632) with three of the PROMPT telescopes simultaneously in Ur'I
beginning 16.1 hours after the burst under the automated control of Skynet:
Filter Telescope Start (UT) Stop (UT) Exposures Total (hr)
U PROMPT-2 00:38:20 00:57:40 12 x 80s 0.32
r' PROMPT-4 00:37:37 00:57:57 13 x 80s 0.34
I PROMPT-1 00:38:15 00:57:14 12 x 80s 0.32
No new source is found to I > 19.1 mag (3 sigma; calibrated to seven
USNO-B1.0 stars).
PROMPT is currently being built and commissioned at CTIO.
