TITLE: GCN CIRCULAR NUMBER: 20252 SUBJECT: GRB 161214A: fading optical afterglow candidate with the LT DATE: 16/12/14 07:46:37 GMT FROM: Cristiano Guidorzi at Ferrara U,Italy C. Guidorzi (U. Ferrara), C.G. Mundell (Bath), S. Kobayashi, I.A. Steele (LJMU), A. Gomboc (U. Nova Gorica) on behalf of a large collaboration report: The 2-m Liverpool Telescope automatically began observing INTEGRAL GRB 161214A (Mereghetti et al., GCN 20251) in the SDSS r. Within the INTEGRAL error circle we find an uncatalogued fading object at the following position: RA(J2000)= 12:43:00.36 Dec(J2000)= +06:51:50.1 with a 1 arcsec error radius and magnitudes of r=19.66 +- 0.07 at 35 minutes, and r=19.95 +- 0.07 at 61 minutes post GRB trigger as calibrated against nearby SDSS stars.
