TITLE: GCN CIRCULAR NUMBER: 19757 SUBJECT: GRB 160801A: TSHAO optical observations DATE: 16/08/02 22:45:50 GMT FROM: Alexei Pozanenko at IKI, Moscow E. Mazaeva (IKI), A. Kusakin (Fesenkov Astrophysical Institute), I. Reva (Fesenkov Astrophysical Institute), A. Pozanenko (IKI) report on behalf of larger GRB follow-up collaboration: We observed the field of GRB 160801A (D'Elia et al., GCN 19744 ) with Zeiss-1000 (East) 1-m telescope of Tien Shan Astronomical Observatory. We obtained several images in R filter starting on August 01 (UT) 15:10:55. We do not detect any optical source within enhanced XRT error position (Goad et al., GCN 19746). Preliminary photometry of a combined image is following Date UT start t-T0 Filter Exp. OT Err. UL (mid, days) (s) 2016-08-01 15:10:55 0.28422 R 60*120 n/d n/d 22.4 Photometry is based on nearby SDSS DR9 stars SDSS-DR9_id R(Lupton) J141100.70+132838.3 17.993 J141057.03+132833.7 17.684 J141054.86+132751.0 18.338 J141055.05+132937.2 18.545 J141059.52+133105.4 19.518 J141102.35+133019.9 18.384 J141102.64+133004.5 18.354 Our preliminary photometry of the SDSS object (Cano et al., GCN 19753) which is also mentioned by Moskvitin et al. (GCN 19755) is R=21.1+/-0.1 and based on the same nearby SDSS stars. A finding chart can be found in http://grb.rssi.ru/GRB160801A/GRB160801A_TSHAO_160801_2.png
