TITLE: GCN GRB OBSERVATION REPORT NUMBER: 4874 SUBJECT: GRB060313: optical observations of the afterglow candidate DATE: 06/03/13 06:16:28 GMT FROM: Christina Thoene at Niels Bohr Institute,DARK Cosmo Ctr Christina Thoene, Chloe Feron, Jens Hjorth and Brian L. Jensen (Dark Cosmology Centre) report We obtained R and I band observations of GRB 060313 (GCN 4867) with the Danish 1.5m telescope and DFOSC at La Silla. Observations started at UT 00:23:53 (11min after the burst) until UT 02:11:10. Inside the XRT error circle (GCN 4870) we detect a new, previously uncatalogued source at the position (J2000) RA = : 04:26:28.42 Dec =-10:50:39.84 This is consistent with the position reported in GCN 4871 and GCN 4872. The R magnitude obtained from stacked images with a mean time of about 1h after the burst is R = 20.4 (based on preliminary photometric zero points) A finding chart can be found at: http://www.astro.ku.dk/~brian_j/grb/grb060313.008/
