TITLE: GCN CIRCULAR NUMBER: 18949 SUBJECT: GRB 160127A: Khureltogot optical observations DATE: 16/01/29 11:37:43 GMT FROM: Alexei Pozanenko at IKI, Moscow E. Mazaeva (IKI), S. Schmalz (AIP), A. Volnova (IKI), N. Tungalag (Research Center of Astronomy and Geophysics MAS), I. Molotov (KIAM), A. Pozanenko (IKI) report on behalf of larger GRB follow-up collaboration: We observed the field of Swift GRB 160127A (Amaral-Rogers et al., GCN 18938) with ORI-40 telescope of Khureltogot observatory starting on Jan., 27 (UT) 19:32:48. We marginally detect optical afterglow (Amaral-Rogers et al., GCN 18938; Klotz et al., GCN 18939; Cucchiara et al., GCN 18941). Preliminary photometry of the afterglow is following Date UT start t-T0 Filter Exp.
