![]() TITLE: GCN CIRCULAR NUMBER: 9732 SUBJECT: GRB 090726: GRT Optical Observation DATE: 09/07/29 10:22:47 GMT FROM: Takanori Sakamoto at NASA/GSFC <takanori@milkyway.gsfc.nasa.gov> T. Sakamoto (UMBC/GSFC), D. Donato (ORAU/GSFC), N. Gehrels (GSFC), T. Okajima (JHU/GSFC), T.N. Ukwatta (GWU/GSFC), Y. Urata (NCU), C.A. Wallace (FGCU) We observed the field of GRB 090726 detected by Swift
(trigger #358422; Page et al., GCN 9706) with the 14-inch
Goddard Robotic Telescope (GRT) located at the Goddard Geophysical
and Astronomical Observatory (http://cddisa.gsfc.nasa.gov/ggao/).
89 set of 30 sec exposures were taken in the R filter starting
from July 27 02:31:44 (UT) about 3.75 hours after the trigger and
stopped on July 27 03:22:10 (UT). We do not detect the optical
afterglow (Moskvitin et al., GCN 9709; Fatkhullin et al.,
GCN 9712; Polasek et al., GCN 9714; Maticic et al.,
GCN 9715; Landsman et al., GCN 9717) both in the
individual images and the combined image. The estimated three
sigma upper limit of the combined image (total exposure of 2670.0 sec)
is ~18.9 mag using the USNO-B1 catalog.
