TITLE: GCN CIRCULAR NUMBER: 14215 SUBJECT: GRB 130215A: Xinglong optical observations DATE: 13/02/15 13:14:33 GMT FROM: Dong Xu at DARK/NBI D. Xu (DARK/NBI) and T.M. Zhang (NAOC) report on behalf of a larger collaboration We observed the field of GRB 130215A (D'Elia et al., GCN 14204) using the Xinglong 2.16m telescope, located in Heibei China and equipped with the BFOSC camera. Observations started at 10:57:59 UT on 2013-02-15 (i.e., 9.941 hr after the BAT trigger), and 3x300s R-band and I-band frames were obtained, respectively. The optical afterglow (Zheng et al., GCN 14205; LaCluyze et al., GCN 14206; Cenko, GCN 14209; Butler et al., GCN 14212; Gendre et al., GCN 14213) is clearly detected in each of our images. Compared with the measurements in previous GCN reports, it decayed to R=19.1 mag at the mean time of 10.08 hr post-trigger, in the staked image and calibrated with nearby USNO B1 stars. We thank Feng Xiao for carrying out these observations.
