TITLE: GCN CIRCULAR NUMBER: 32769 SUBJECT: GRB 221009A: continued Assy optical afterglow observations, possible SN evidence DATE: 22/10/16 15:33:29 GMT FROM: Alexei Pozanenko at IKI, Moscow S. Belkin (IKI, HSE), V. Kim (FAI), A. Pozanenko (IKI), M. Krugov (FAI), Y. Aimuratov (FAI), N. Pankov (HSE) report on behalf of GRB IKI FuN: We continue observations of GRB 221009A (Swift J1913.1+1946) (Dichiara et al., GCN 32632; Kennea and Williams, GCN 32635; Veres et al., GCN 32636; Bissaldi et al., GCN 32636; Svinkin et al., GCN 32641; Piano et al., GCN 32657; Pillera et al., GCN 32658; Gotz et al., GCN 32660; Frederiks et al., GCN 32668) with AZT-20 telescope of Assy-Turgen observatory. The observations were carried out on 2022-10-11 -- 2022-10-15. The optical afterglow ( GCNs 32632, 32635, 32636, 32641, 32657, 32658, 32660, 32666, 32668, 32670, 32671, 32676, 32677, 32678, 32679, 32680, 32683, 32684, 32685, 32686, 32691, 32692, 32693, 32694, 32695, 32700, 32705, 32707, 32709, 32727, 32729, 32730, 32736, 32738, 32739, 32740, 32743, 32746, 32749, 32750; 32752; 32753; 32755; 32758; 32765). Preliminary photometry of the afterglow on 2022-10-15 is following Date UT start t-T0 Exp. Filter OT Err.

The light curve based in our photometry can be found in http://grb.rssi.ru/GRB221009A/GRB221009A_lc_cc_7_cut.png The power law (PL) fit parameters are also shown in the figure and do not include photometry on 2022-10-15. It can be seen that the color change g-i and photometry g, r on October 15, 2022 deviate significantly from the PL approximation. We hypothesize that this behaviour may indicate a supernova rise.
