TITLE: GCN CIRCULAR NUMBER: 19490 SUBJECT: GRB 160601A: Mondy optical observations, photometry of NOT sources DATE: 16/06/02 14:35:18 GMT FROM: Alexei Pozanenko at IKI, Moscow E. Mazaeva (IKI), E. Klunko (ISTP), A. Volnova (IKI), I. Korobtsev (ISTP), A. Pozanenko (IKI) report on behalf of larger GRB follow-up collaboration: We observed the field of the Swift GRB 160601A (Kocevski et al., GCN 19478) with AZT-33IK telescope of Sayan observatory (Mondy) starting on June, 01 (UT) 15:00:41, i.e. 17 minutes after GRB trigger (GCN 19483). In a combined image we detected both NOT sources (Malesani et al., GCN 19485) near enhanced XRT error circle (Evans et al., GCN 19484). Preliminary photometry (Vega) of the sources are following Date UT start t-T0 Filter Exp.
