Hello everyone,
Swift has detected a burst with an apparent optical afterglow.
There is confusion between the coordinates from TAROT and
Swift. The Swift coordinates of the OT are:
RA: 08 32 58.54
Dec: +33 06 51.2
The TAROT coordinates were given as:
RA: 08 32 38.1
Dec: +33 11 45.3
Both should be within the fields of most CCD cameras -- please
check both positions.
The TAROT source reached R~15.3 within 100 seconds, and
the Swift source white light magnitude was 18.1 400 seconds after
the burst.
Observations are encouraged.
Clear skies, & Happy New Year,
Matthew
