SUBJECT: GRB200618: optical polarimetry and photometry

V. Larionov and L.Larionova from St.Petersburg University (Russia)
<vml at VL1104.spb.edu>, <vlar at nm.ru> report:
We imaged GRB20060218 with 70-cm telescope of Crimean Astrophysical
observatory (Ukraine) and ST-7 camera of St.Petersburg University
in photometric and polarimetric mode. Observations were made in R band from
February 20.17 to February 23.18. The rate of brightening in this period was
0.18 mag/day. The polarization reached maximum of 6% on February 21
and decreased to 3% on February 23. The positional angle remained
practically unchanged, 110+\-5 deg. The high and variable polarization
gives evidence of strongly aspherical or non-thermal component in
GRB20060218/SN2006aj radiation.
