GRB090408 : TAOS optical observations

S.K. King, K.Y. Huang, S.Y. Wang and the TAOS team

The four 50cm TAOS telescopes observed GRB 090408 position (Stroh et
al, GCN9110) at 91s after the burst. No new optical emission was
detected in the BAT possition error range. The 3-sigma limiting
magnitude, compared with USNOB red stars, are as follows:
