TITLE: GCN CIRCULAR NUMBER: 23696 SUBJECT: GRB 190114B: Mondy optical afterglow detection DATE: 19/01/14 22:46:53 GMT FROM: Alexei Pozanenko at IKI, Moscow A. Pozanenko (IKI), E. Klunko (ISTP), E. Mazaeva (IKI), A. Volnova (IKI), S. Belkin (IKI) report on behalf of IKI-FuN: We observed the field of the GRB 190114B (Siegel et al., GCN 23686) with AZT-33IK telescope of Sayan observatory (Mondy). We started observations on Jan. 14 (UT) 20:28:30, i.e. 57 minutes after burst trigger. Within the enhanced XRT position (Goad et al., GCN 23691) we detect the object which is absent in SDSS catalog. Coordinates of the object are (J2000) 11:39:29.84 +18:53:27.8 with uncertainty 0.5 arcsec in both coordinates. The brightens of the object is R ~ 20.1m at (UT) 20:28:30. We suggest the object is the afterglow of GRB 190114B. The photometry is based on nearby SDSS DR12 stars, Lupton transformation. .
