Swift J1357.2-0933: Optical/NIR counterpart from GROND
Abstract
GROND (Greiner et al. 2008, PASP 120, 405), the 7-channel imager mounted at the 2.2m MPI/ESO telescope at La Silla Observatory (Chile) started follow-up observations of the transient source Swift J1357.2-0933 (Krimm et al. 2011, ATEL #3138) on 1 Feb 2011, 08:28 UT simultaneously in the g'r'i'z'JHK bands. Within the 3.0 arcmin Swift/BAT error circle (Krimm et al. 2011, ATEL #3138) we detect a new, bright, source compared to SDSS DR7.
