![]() TITLE: GCN CIRCULAR NUMBER: 9709 SUBJECT: GRB 090726: optical transient candidate DATE: 09/07/27 03:50:30 GMT FROM: Vladimir Sokolov at SAO RAS <sokolov@sao.ru> A. Moskvitin, T. Fatkhullin & A. Valeev (SAO-RAS Niznijh Arkhyz, Russia), on behalf of a larger colaboration, report: We have observed the field of GRB 090618
(Page et al., GCN 9706) with the 1-m telesecope
of the SAO RAS in Caucasus. Within the XRT error
circle (Page et al., GCN 9707) we detected one
object which not present in the DSS. The object's
coordinates are:
R.A. (J2000.0) = 16:34:43.044
DEC. (J2000.0) = +72:53:04.82
with uncertainty about 0.5 arcsec. Using
the USNO A2.0 star 1628-0121951 (R2=14.51)
as a calibration we estimated the object's
brightness as following:
R_mag exp.(sec) mid.time
(sec after the trigger)
18.26 +/- 0.05 60 2126
18.39 +/- 0.05 60 2252
18.33 +/- 0.05 60 2344
18.71 +/- 0.05 120 3183
18.97 +/- 0.05 180 4296
19.17 +/- 0.06 180 5492
19.28 +/- 0.07 240 6089
19.55 +/- 0.12 300 6824
According to its variability we concluded that
the detected object is the OT of the GRB 090726.
Further analysis are ongoing.
