TITLE: GCN CIRCULAR NUMBER: 27081 SUBJECT: GRB 200215A: Nanshan/NEXT optical upper limit DATE: 20/02/15 16:08:10 GMT FROM: Dong Xu at NAOC/CAS D. Xu, Z.P. Zhu, X. Liu, B.Y. Yu, Y. Ma (NAOC), X. Gao (Urumqi No.1 Senior High School) report: We observed the field of GRB 200215A (Bernardini et al., GCN 27079) using the NEXT 0.6m optical telescope located at Nanshan, Xinjiang, China. Observations automatically started at 14:40:59 UT on 2002-02-15, i.e., 88 s after the BAT trigger. We obtained 3x40 s, 4x60 s, and 5x90 s frames in the Sloan r-filter. Observations then ended due to follow-ups of LIGO/Virgo S200213t. No optical afterglow is detected in our images at the XRT position (Bernardini et al., GCN 27079) down to a limiting magnitude of r~18.0, calibrated with the nearby PanSTARRS field.
