TITLE:   GCN CIRCULAR
NUMBER:  11858
SUBJECT: GRB 110402A: Liverpool Telescope Observations
DATE:    11/04/02 02:12:26 GMT
FROM:    Carole Mundell at ARI, JMU,Liverpool  <cgm at astro.livjm.ac.uk>

C.G. Mundell (Liverpool), A. Melandri (INAF-OAB) and N. Tanvir (Leicester) report on behalf of a larger collaboration:

"The 2-m Liverpool Telescope robotically followed up GRB110402
(SWIFT trigger 450545; Ukwatta et al. GCN 11857) 14.85 min after the GRB 
trigger time.

We identify a faint source detected within the XRT error circle in R, i' 
and z' band images at:

RA = 13:09:36.64   Dec = +61:15:09.7   +/-0.1" (J2000)

with  R = 20.8 (+/-0.1)    mag at t=28.0 min
       I = 20.75 (+/-0.17) mag at t= 33.0 min  (vs USNOB1)

Fading is yet to be confirmed.
