MASTER II robotic telescope (MASTER-Net: http://observ.pereplet.ru)
located in Blagoveschensk was pointed to the GRB140402A (Jenke et. al GCN
16070) ~ 13.6h (49103 sec) after trigger time at 2014-04-02 13:48:30 UT
directly after sunset and the weather conditions became good.
We haven`t found optical transient within Fermi-LAT (Bissaldi et. al.
GCN 16069) and SWIFT-BAT (Cummings et. al GCN 16073) error-boxes on
single and coadd images.
The 5-sigma unfiltered upper limit has been about 18.2 mag on single (180
s) image and about 19.8 on coadd of 10 images with total exposure 1800 s.
Also MASTER II robotic telescope located in Kislovodsk was twice pointed
to this GRB by FERMI-GBM two alert coordinates 23 s and ~ 1h after trigger
time. But the final Fermi-LAT and SWIFT-BAT position is out of our FOV due
to big coordinates errors.
The message may be cited.
