TITLE: GCN GRB OBSERVATION REPORT NUMBER: 4826 SUBJECT: GRB 060223B: ART optical limits DATE: 06/02/24 04:50:21 GMT FROM: Ken ichi Torii at RIKEN K. Torii (Osaka U.) reports on behalf of the ART collaboration: The error region of GRB 060223B (Cummings et al. GCN 4821) was observed with the 0.35m ART-3b in Toyonaka, Osaka. Repeated 60 s exposures in BVRcIc were started at 19:43:39 UT (155 s after the BAT trigger). Preliminary analysis does not reveal a new object within the revised BAT error radius (Fenimore et al. GCN 4825) and the following 3 sigma upper limits are derived with reference to USNO-B1.0 catalog. -------------------------------- StartUT Limits ================================ 19:43:39 >12.5I (trailed) 19:46:31 >13.7R 19:47:36 >13.3I ================================
