GCN Circular 98

The U. S. Naval Observatory GRB team (A. A. Henden, C. B. Luginbuhl,
F. J. Vrba, B. Canzian, S. E. Levine, H. H. Guetter, J. A. Munn)
report follow up optical photometry of the secondary standards
(see Henden, et. A. GCN 16

 ) in the field of GRB971214.  The
observations were made on four photometric nights since the burst
with the USNO 1.0m telescope.  Johnson-Cousins BVRI filters were
used, with an average of 50 Landolt standards of wide color range
and extinction observed on each night.  The transformations are
accurate to 0.01-0.02mag per single observation.  DAOPHOT psf fitting
was used in the GRB field, with magnitude corrections to adjust the
photometry to a standard aperture diameter.  Given below is the
photometry, with errors based on the variance between the four nights.
More detail, including coordinates and comparisons between other
published values for these stars, can be found next week
