TITLE: GCN CIRCULAR NUMBER: 7331 SUBJECT: GRB080211: optical observations DATE: 08/02/26 16:52:08 GMT FROM: Alexei Pozanenko at IKI, Moscow M. Andreev (Terskol Branch of Institute of Astronomy) V. Petkov, A. Kurenya (BNO INR RAS), A. Pozanenko (IKI) on behalf of larger GRB follow up collaboration report: We observed the GRB080211 (Hurley et al. GCN 7295, Golenetskii et al. GCN 7309) with Zeiss-600 of Mt.Terskol observatory on Feb. 12 between (UT) 17:10-17:21 in R-filter under poor weather conditions. Our observation covered central part of the IPN error-box. Within IPN error-box (Hurley et al. GCN 7295), we found one source not presented in any DSS2 plates. Coordinates of the source are RA(J2000) = 02h55m50.9s, Dec.(J2000) = +60 05' 43.6". Photometry against of USNO-B1.0 is following T0+ , Exposure, R_mag (mid time) 1.41d 10x30 s 17.3 Further examination of XRT and UVOT observation (Beardmore et al. GCN 7312) and additional observations are necessary to confirm the nature of the found source. Finding chart and combined image can be found in http://grb.rssi.ru/GRB080211 The message may be cited.
