TITLE: GCN CIRCULAR NUMBER: 5920 SUBJECT: GRB 061210 : Faulkes North Telescope optical limit DATE: 06/12/14 14:14:46 GMT FROM: Andrea Melandri at Liverpool John Moores U A. Melandri, D. Carter , C. Mundell, A. Gomboc, C. Guidorzi, I.A. Steele, C.J. Mottram, D.F. Bersier, S. Kobayashi, R.J. Smith, M.F. Bode (Liverpool JMU), P. O'Brien, E. Rol, N. Bannister (Leicester) report: "The 2-m Faulkes North Telescope robotically followed up the Swift GRB061210 (trigger #243690, Cannizzo et al) and began observing about 2.4 minutes after the GRB trigger time. Observations were affected by the nearby bright moon (~4.3 degrees) and no new object was found inside the BAT error circle (Palmer et al., GCN 5905). From the acquired set of 3x10 seconds exposures in the R-band we can set an upper limit for the afterglow of R>17.0 at 2.8 minutes (mean time). This message may be cited."
