report on behalf of the KANATA GRB team:
We performed optical-NIR observations of the field of
GRB 080810 (GCN Circ. 8080) with TRISPEC attached to
the "KANATA" 1.5-m telescope.
We confirmed a very bright, fading object at the position of the optical
afterglow detected with UVOT.
Our preliminary results are below:
time(UT) mag. exposure_time
Aug. 2008 (sec)
10.553258 13.7 $B!^(B 0.1 V 33sec * 1
Comparison star:
23:46:58.51 +00:18:30.2 V=14.07 (NOMAD)
Further observation and analysis are ongoing.
