![]() TITLE: GCN CIRCULAR NUMBER: 10384 SUBJECT: GRB 100206A: optical observations from Southern Spain DATE: 10/02/06 21:34:06 GMT FROM: Alberto Castro-Tirado at Inst.de Astro. de Andalucia <ajct@iaa.es> S. Guziy, F. J. Aceituno, and A. J. Castro-Tirado (IAA-CSIC Granada), on behalf of a larger collaboration, report: Following the detection of the short-duration gamma-ray burst GRB 100206A
by Swift/BAT (Krimm et al. GCN 10376), we have conducted follow-up
observations with the 0.6m TELMA robotic telescope (+ clear filter) at the
BOOTES-2 station in Málaga and with the 1.5m OSN telescope (+ I-band
filter) at Observatorio de Sierra Nevada in Granada. No optical afterglow
is detected within the Swift/XRT error box (Goad et al., GCN 10378).
An upper limit of I = 21 is derived from a combined 9 x 150-s I-band image
obtained starting at 18:40 UT (5.2 hr postburst), consistent with the null
result reported by Bhattacharya et al. (GCN 10380). The candidate
host galaxy reported by Miller et al. (GCN 10377) is also detected
at the edge of the error box.
