TITLE: GCN CIRCULAR NUMBER: 12725 SUBJECT: GRBv111225A: Xinglong TNT optical afterglow DATE: 11/12/25 13:27:24 GMT FROM: L.P. Xin at NAOC L.P. Xin, J.Y. Wei, Y. L. Qiu, J. Wang, J.S. Deng, C. Wu, X. H. Han on behalf of EAFON report: We began to observe GRB 111225A ( Siegel et al., GCN 12720) with Xinglong TNT telescope from 10:50:40 (UT), about 7 hour after the burst. Preliminary analysis shows that the brightness of the optical afterglow counterpart ( Siegel et al., GCN 12720, Klotz et al. GCN 12722, Adria et al. GCN 12723) has decayed to about R~20.4 mag relatively to USNO B1.O R2 mag, at the mean time of 7.7 hour after the burst. More observations are encouraged. This message may be cited. Thanks for the observation assistant of TNT telescope at Xinglong observatory.
