A. Rossi, E. Maiorano, and E. Palazzi (INAF-OAS) report on behalf of the CIBO collaboration:
We observed the field of the long GRB 230328B detected by Fermi-GBM (Fermi GBM Team, GCN 33526; Dalessi et al., GCN 33531), Swift-BAT (Gropp et al., GCN 33527), AstroSat-CZTI (Waratkar et al., GCN 33532), GRBAlpha (Dafcikova et al., GCN 33543), and Konus-Wind (Svinkin et al., GCN 33544). We obtained 20 min of g'- and r'-band imaging with the LBC camera mounted on LBT (Mt Graham, AZ, USA) on 2023-06-23, ~3 months after the burst trigger. Observations were performed under mediocre weather conditions with a strong SW wind and thus an average seeing of ~2".
At the location of the optical afterglow (Pankov et al., GCN 33528; Belkin et al., GCN 33530; Lu et al., GCN 33534; Catapano et al., GCN 33535; Suresh et al., GCN 33536; Adami et al., GCN 33537; Gompertz et al., GCN 33538; Komesh et al., GCN 33539; Kumar et al., GCN 33547; Kugel et al., GCN 33550; Siegel et al., 33556; Pozanenko et al., GCN 33559), we detect a faint source which is likely the GRB host galaxy. We measure the following AB magnitudes:
g 24.2 +- 0.3
r 23.8 +- 0.2
calibrated against PanSTARRS field stars, and not corrected for the foreground Galactic extinction.
We acknowledge the excellent support from the LBTO and LBT-INAF staff, particularly D. Thompson, D. Gonzalez Huerta, F. Cusano and D. Paris, in obtaining these observations.

P. Minaev (IKI), A. Pozanenko (IKI) report on behalf of GRB IKI FuN:
We analyzed GRB 230328B detected by Swift (Gropp et al., GCN 33527),
Fermi (Dalessi et al., GCN 33531), Astrosat (Waratkar et al., GCN
33532), GRBAlpha (Dafcikova et al., GCN 33543), Konus (Svinkin et al.,
GCN 33544). Using publicly available data of GBM/Fermi we estimate the
duration T_90 = 25.7 +/- 0.5 s in (10 - 300) keV energy band. We also
performed spectral analysis in a time interval of (-7, 30) s since GBM
trigger, the best fit is obtained for CPL model with following
parameters: E_p = 164 +/- 13 keV, alpha = -1.22 +/- 0.04. The fluence of
F = (1.02 +/- 0.04)E-5 erg/cm**2 is obtained in 10 - 1000 keV energy
band. Using T_90,i - EH diagram [1] we can classify the burst as type II
(long) and find the minimal possible redshift value of z = 0.09.

Santel-400 (0.4m) telescope of ISON-Multa observatory (Altay Republic)
in Clear filter on 2023-03-28 starting on (UT) 15:16:06. We detect the
optical afterglow of GRB 230328B (Gropp et al. GCN 33527; Pankov et al.

GRB 230328B: Swift/UVOT Detection

Mike Siegel at PSU/Swift MOC <mhs18@psu.edu>
M. H. Siegel (PSU) and J. D. Gropp (PSU)
report on behalf of the Swift/UVOT team:
The Swift/UVOT began settled observations of the field of GRB 230328B
114 s after the BAT trigger (Gropp et al., GCN Circ. 33527).
A source consistent with the XRT position (Osborne et al. GCN Circ. 33529) is
detected in the initial UVOT exposures, confirming the initial
optical detections (Pankov et al., GCN Circ. 33528; Catapano & Izzo, GCN Circ.
33535; Suresh et al., GCN Circ. 33536; Adami et al., GCN Circ. 33537; Komesh
et al., GCN Circ. 33539).
The preliminary UVOT position is:
RA (J2000) = 19:24:01.88 = 291.00783 (deg.)
Dec (J2000) = +80:00:34.6 = 80.00962 (deg.)
with an estimated uncertainty of 0.44 arc sec. (radius, 90% confidence).
Preliminary detections and 3-sigma upper limits using the UVOT photometric system
(Breeveld et al. 2011, AIP Conf. Proc. 1358, 373) for the early exposures are:
Filter T_start(s) T_stop(s) Exp(s) Mag
white (fc) 114 264 147 18.38 +/- 0.05
White 5537 5735 196 20.16 +/- 0.14
white 28147 28879 713 21.88 +/- 0.32
v 655 849 39 >17.6
b 582 774 39 >18.3
u (fc) 326 576 246 19.20 +/- 0.16
w1 705 725 19 >18.5
w2 805 825 19 >18.0
The magnitudes in the table are not corrected for the Galactic extinction
due to the reddening of E(B-V) = 0.070 in the direction of the burst
(Schlegel et al. 1998).

P. Hello (IJCLab), A. Klotz (OMP/IRAP) report on behalf of the
GRANDMA/Kilonova-Catcher collaboration:
The Kilonova-Catcher telescope network responded to the alert of
GRB 230328B (Swift detection: Gropp et al., GCN 33527;
Fermi GBM detection: Veres et al., GCN 33526).
The KNC observations were taken by F. Kugel with an ARTEMIS CCD ATIK-460ex
camera mounted in the 0.4-m f/2.8 reflector telescope in the Chante-Perdrix
Observatory (France).
The afterglow is detected in the 36x60s unfiltered coadded images at
about 5.2 hours (midtime of the exposure) after the Swift/BAT trigger time.
Below, we report our photometric measurement in Rc magnitude.
-------------------------------------------------------------
T-T0 (day) |Exposure| Filter | Mag +/- err |Mag.Lim. (AB)
-------------------------------------------------------------
0.22172 | 36 x 60s | Rc | 20.19 +/- 0.10 | 21.4 (3 sigma)
Our detection is consistent with the detections and limits previously reported
in Pankov et al., GCN 33528.; Belkin, GCN 33530; Lu et al., GCN 33534;
Catapano et al., GCN 33535
