TITLE: GCN CIRCULAR NUMBER: 15840 SUBJECT: GRB140215A: Skynet PROMPT Optical Observations DATE: 14/02/15 05:45:47 GMT FROM: Aaron LaCluyze at U.North Carolina A. LaCluyze, J. Haislip, D. Reichart, A. Trotter, A. Foster, N. Frank, K. Ivarsen, J. Moore, M. Nysewander, R. Beauchemin, T. Berger, M. Carroll, H. T. Cromartie, R. Egger, M. Hinckle, A. Ireland, M. Maples, L. Scott, and J. A. Crain report: Skynet observed the Swift-BAT localization of GRB 140215A (Markwardt et al., GCN 15837, Swift trigger 586680) with six of the PROMPT telescopes located at CTIO in Chile. Observations began at ~59s after the burst in BVRI and luminance. We detect a fading optical source in all bands at the position of the source detected by Markwardt et al. A preliminary light curve calibrated to USNOB and NOMAD catalog stars can be found at: http://www.skynet.unc.edu/grb/grb140215a.png Further observations are ongoing.
