GRB 201223A: BOOTES-4/MET early optical observation
Abstract
Following the detection of GRB 201223A by Swift (Gropp et al. GCNC 29158), the 0.6m BOOTES-4/MET robotic telescope at Lijiang Astronomical Observatory (China) started to gather images in clear filter starting at 18:01:22 UT (~176 s after trigger). The optical afterglow reported by Swift/UVOT (Gropp et al. GCNC 29158), MASTER (Lipunov et al. GCNC 29157) and Nanshan/NEXT (Zhu et al. GCNC 29159) is detected with a magnitude of 15.7+-0.15. Additional observations are ongoing. We thank the staff at Lijiang observatory for their excellent support.
