TITLE: GCN GRB OBSERVATION REPORT NUMBER: 1513 SUBJECT: GRB020813: Magellan BVRI Photometry DATE: 02/08/21 03:03:24 GMT FROM: Derek Fox at CIT Mike Gladders (Carnegie Observatories) and Pat Hall (Princeton/Catolica) report: "A total of 37 images (16 in I, 10 in R, 11 in V) of the OT associated with GRB020813 were acquired with the Baade 6.5m (Magellan I) telescope and TEK5 camera on the night of August 13 UT, under conditions of excellent seeing and transparency. A further 15 images (5 in I, 4 each in BR and 2 in V) were acquired on the night of August 14 UT, under similar conditions, though with some possible cirrus. "A preliminary analysis of these images yields the magnitudes below for the OT associated with GRB020813. Magnitudes have been computed differentially relative to approximately 20 stars straddling the magnitude range of OT, located in the same field (2x2 arcminutes). Internal uncertainties (estimated from residuals in the differential corrections) are about 0.01 magnitudes on August 13 UT, and about 0.02 on August 14UT, and the systematic uncertainty in the calibration of the zero-points is less than 0.05 magnitudes in most cases. The B-band zero-point, established on August 14 UT, may be affected by light cirrus on the science frames, and is questionable."
