TITLE: GCN CIRCULAR NUMBER: 6833 SUBJECT: Faulkes Telescope South observations of GRB 071001 DATE: 07/10/01 18:05:27 GMT FROM: David Bersier at Liverpool John Moores U D. Bersier (Liverpool JMU), C. Guidorzi (U. Bicocca & INAF-OAB), R. Smith (Liverpool JMU) report on behalf of a larger collaboration: We observed the field of GRB 071001 (Swift trigger 292826, GCN 6832) with the Faulkes Telescope South in BVRi filters. We do not detect any variable object within the XRT error circle down to mR=19.5 (calibrated with respect to USNO-B). We note that a fairly bright object within the XRT error circle may complicate the analysis.
