TITLE: GCN GRB OBSERVATION REPORT NUMBER: 3588 SUBJECT: GRB050713: Liverpool Telescope prompt observations DATE: 05/07/13 10:07:09 GMT FROM: Alessandro Monfardini at JMU/Liverpool Robotic Tele A. Monfardini, A. Gomboc, C. Guidorzi, C.G. Mundell, R.J. Smith, I. A. Steele, C.J. Mottram, D. Carter, M.F. Bode (Liverpool JMU) report: "The 2-m Liverpool Telescope followed up robotically the GRB050713 detected by SWIFT (GCN 3581). Three prompt images (2-4 minutes) have been acquired. No later time observations have been acquired. We clearly detect the first object suggested by Malesani (GCN 3582) at: RA = 21:22:09.6, DEC = +77:04:29 (1 arcsec error) At a mean epoch of 3 minutes after the reported GRB time we preliminarly estimate a magnitude of r'=19.2 with large errors due to comparison with USNOB1.0 and magnitude conversion. Further analysis is ongoing. The afterglow is detected on individual images. This message can be cited."
