TITLE: GCN GRB OBSERVATION REPORT NUMBER: 4574 SUBJECT: GRB 060124: Optical Observations at Tautenburg DATE: 06/01/24 19:18:07 GMT FROM: Alexander Kann at TLS Tautenburg D. A. Kann reports on behalf of the Tautenburg GRB Team: I observed the field of Swift GRB 060124 (S. T. Holland et al., GCN 4570) with the Tautenburg 1.34m Schmidt telescope equipped with the 2k x 2k Schmidt CCD camera. Observations were obtained under good conditions and low airmass, beginning at 16:54:54 UT, i.e. one hour after the burst, in twilight. I obtained 6 x 180 sec frames each in V, Rc and Ic. A visual inspection of the Swift BAT error circle in comparison to the DSS 2 infrared plate reveals no obvious afterglow candidate to the following rough limits: t (mid) UT Filter Limit 0.0427 Ic > 17 0.0559 Ic > 18 0.0587 Rc > 20 0.0746 V > 20 These values are not corrected for the moderate Galactic extinction (E(B-V)=0.135). Further analysis is in progress. This message may be cited.
