TITLE: GCN CIRCULAR NUMBER: 6899 SUBJECT: GRB 071011, Optical afterglow DATE: 07/10/12 07:10:43 GMT FROM: Shashi Bhushan Pandey at ARIES, INDIA S. B. Pandey, K Misra and Rupak Roy (ARIES, NainiTal, India, on behalf of l= arger Indian GRB collaboration) We observed Swift GRB 071011 with 1.04m telescope NainiTal starting ~ 4.0 hours after the burst (Marshall et al. GCN 6882). Observations were performed in R_c and I_c filters. Photometry of the co-added I_c frames (300 sec x 6) marginally detects the afterglow candidate (I_c ~ 20.0) reported by Cenko S. B. (GCN 6895) in comparison to nearby USNO stars. This message may be cited.
