TITLE: GCN CIRCULAR NUMBER: 28768 SUBJECT: GRB 201020B: continued Mondy optical observations DATE: 20/10/24 09:51:25 GMT FROM: Alexei Pozanenko at IKI, Moscow S. Belkin (IKI), A. Pozanenko (IKI), E. Klunko (ISTP), N. Pankov (HSE) report on behalf of IKI GRB FuN: We continued observations of the GRB 201020B (Fermi GBM team, GCN 28702; Malacaria et al., GCN 28710; Arimoto et al., GCN 28716; Ursi et al., GCN 28714; Ridnaia et al., GCN 28723) with AZT-33IK telescope of Sayan observatory (Mondy) on Oct. 22, 23. The optical afterglow (Lipunov et al., GCN 28718; Xu et al., GCN 28719; Belkin et al., GCN 28725; Breeveld & Lien, GCN 28743; Vinko et al., GCN 28750; Kumar et al., GCN 28753) with redshift of z= 0.804 (Kann et al., GCN 28765) is detected in our stacked images in R-filter. Preliminary photometry of the optical transient in a combined image is following Date UT start t-T0 Filter Exp. OT Err.
