TITLE: GCN CIRCULAR NUMBER: 14960 SUBJECT: GRB 130701A: P60 Observations DATE: 13/07/01 19:14:21 GMT FROM: S. Bradley Cenko at Caltech S. B. Cenko (NASA/GSFC) and D. A. Perley (Caltech) report on behalf of a larger collaboration: We have observed the location of the Swift GRB130701A (Kuin et al., GCN 14953) with the robotic Palomar 60 inch telescope. Observations were obtained in non-photometric conditions in the r', i', and z' filters beginning at 06:52 UT on 2013 July 1 (2.58 hr after the Swift trigger). Using nearby point sources from SDSS for photometric calibration, we measure afterglow magnitudes of r' = 19.57 +/- 0.12 and i' = 19.36 +/- 0.10 at approximately this time. Compared with the earlier detection from the NOT (Leloudas et al., GCN 14954), this implies a power-law decay index of alpha ~ 1.0.
