GCN Circular 5642

K. Torii (Osaka U.) reports on behalf of the ART collaboration:

 As we reported in GCN 5630
Not found
 
 
, the error region of GRB 060927 (Barbier
et al. GCN 5627
Not found
 
 
) was observed with the 14 inch ART-3a (from 53 s after
the burst in Ic band) and 0.35m ART-3b (from 112 s after the burst in
Rc band) simultaneously.

 The optical afterglow (Schaefer et al. GCN 5629
Not found
 
 
) was detected in the
Ic band frames (Ic ~ 16.0 in the first 60 s exposure), but it was not
detected in single Rc band frames.

 Combining our measurements and those reported in the circulars
 (GCN 5629
Not found
 
 
; Zhai et al. GCN 5638
Not found
 
 
), we roughly estimate the early Rc-Ic
color redder (larger) than 1.5 and probably Rc-Ic ~ 2.0 at 100 s after
the trigger time. This early color is consistent with that derived
from later measurements at t ~ 300-1200 s (Guidorzi et al. GCN 5633
Not found
 
 
;
Sarugaku et al. GCN 5634
Not found
 
 
; GCN 5638
Not found
 
 
). The non detection in the UVOT
white filter (GCN 5629
Not found
 
 
) also suggests that the afterglow was red at t ~
100 s.
