GRB210222B: BOOTES-1 optical afterglow detection
Abstract
Following the Swift trigger of GRB 210222B (Gropp et al. GCNC 29545), the 0.3m BOOTES-1B robotic telescope in Mazagon (Huelva), southern Spain, automatically responded to this burst. Images were taken starting at 22:40:53 UT (~3.5 min after trigger). In the first 10s image, the afterglow reported by UVOT (Gropp et al. GCNC 29545) is detected with magnitude of 15.6 +/- 0.15 (clear filter). Further observations are ongoing. We thank the staff at INTA-CEDEA for their excellent support.
