A. Melandri (Liverpool JMU) on behalf of the Liverpool
GRB group reports
The 2-m Liverpool Telescope robotically followed up GRB 070219
(Sakamoto et al., GCN 6104, trigger=261132) beginning 53 min
after the GRB trigger time (UT:01:10:16).
The automatic detection mode (3x10sec) did not identify any new
bright object inside the XRT error circle (Sakamoto et al.,
GCN 6104).
Comparison with the USNO B1 for a coadded set of images (for a total
exposure time of 300 sec) did not reveal any new object down to a
limiting magnitude R~20.2 (between 53-66 minutes after the burst).
Further observations are ongoing.
