Swift J1913.1+1946: New Photometry
Abstract
We've just observed the optical afterglow of the extremely bright GRB Swift J1913.1+1946 (Dichiara et al., GCN Circ. 32632) using 0.36m f/7.7 Schmidt Cassegrain telescope on 10 October 2022 as the night started. Two sets of three stacked frames were analyzed, each frame is 180 seconds of exposure using Ic filter. The magnitude was 17.8!
