TITLE: GCN CIRCULAR NUMBER: 6222 SUBJECT: GRB070208: optical observations DATE: 07/03/23 19:07:45 GMT FROM: Alexei Pozanenko at IKI, Moscow E. Klunko (ISTP), A. Shulga, A. Volnova (SAI MSU), V. Kouprianov (GAO), A. Pozanenko (IKI) on behalf of larger GRB follow up collaboration report: We observed the afterglow of GRB070208 (Guidorzi et al., GCN 6077, Fox et al., GCN 6078, Bloom GCN 6079) in R-band on Feb.8 with 1.5m telescope of Sayan observatory. A set of 300 s exposures was obtained between (UT) 15:43 and 19:28 (Klunko et al., GCN 6093). Best combined image of total exposure 4200 s is centered at Feb. 7.785. After mask subtraction of the nearby galaxy in the best combined image we estimate OT magnitude as following: Mid time (UT), Exposure, R_mag Feb. 7.785 14x300 s 21.4 +/- 0.2 The photometry is based on USNO A2.0 stars.
