TITLE: GCN CIRCULAR NUMBER: 31976 SUBJECT: GRB 220430A: Mondy and AbAO optical upper limits DATE: 22/04/30 21:25:52 GMT FROM: Alexei Pozanenko at IKI, Moscow N. Pankov (HSE), S. Belkin (IKI), A. Pozanenko (IKI), E. Klunko (ISTP), R. Ya. Inasaridze (AbAO) report on behalf of GRB IKI FuN: We observed the field of Swift GRB 220430A (Ambrosi et al., GCN 31972) also detected by AGILE (Ursi et al., GCN 31975) with AZT-33 telescope of Mondy observatory starting on April, 30 (UT) 14:20:53 and AS-32 telescope of Abastumani observatory starting on April, 30 (UT) 16:59:12. We do not detect any sources in the enhanced position of Swift-XRT (Osborne et al., GCN 31973) consistent with the observations of Swit/UVOT (Ambrosi et al., GCN 31972) and MeerLICHT (Groot et al., GCN 31974). Preliminary photometry of the combined images is following Date, UT start, t-T0, Exp., Filter, OT, Err, UL(3 sigma) (mid, days) 2022-04-30 14:20:53 0.01953 1*60 R n/d n/d 19.5 2022-04-30 14:20:53 0.02613 20*60 R n/d n/d 20.5 2022-04-30 16:59:12 0.14962 59*60 R n/d n/d 21.0 The photometry is based on nearby USNO-B1.0 stars, R2 magnitude USNO-B1.0_id R2 0995-0113632 16.50 0995-0113723 15.94
