TITLE: GCN CIRCULAR NUMBER: 31361 SUBJECT: GRB220101A: optical afterglow detection from Konkoly Observatory DATE: 22/01/02 00:53:01 GMT FROM: Jozsef Vinko at Konkoly Observator J. Vinko, A. Pal, L. Kriskovics, R. Szakats, K. Vida (Konkoly Observatory, Hungary) report: We observed the field of GRB220101A (Tohuvavohu et al., GCN #31347; Arimoto et al., GCN #31350; AGILE Ursi et al., GCN #31354) with the RC80 robotic telescope at Piszkesteto Station of Konkoly Observatory on 2022 Jan 01 starting at 21:32:18 UT. A series of 5x300 sec frames were collected through Sloan r'- and i' bands. The bright optical afterglow (Kuin & Tohuvavohu, GCN #31351; Fu et al., GCN #31353; Hentunen et al., GCN #31356; Perley, GCN #31357; Ugarte Postigo et al. GCN #31358; Fynbo et al. GCN #31359) is clearly detected on the stacked frames with the following magnitudes, calibrated via nearby PS1 stars: Date UT-middle t-T0(hr) Exp(s) r'(AB-mag) i'(AB-mag) 2022-01-01 21:52:52 16.73 5x300 19.81 +/- 0.12 18.67 +/- 0.14
