TITLE: GCN CIRCULAR NUMBER: 40005 SUBJECT: GRB250331D: AbAO optical observations DATE: 25/04/01 14:15:27 GMT FROM: Alexei Pozanenko at IKI, Moscow grb.alex@gmail.com
N. Pankov (HSE, IKI), R. Ya. Inasaridze (AbAO), A. Pozanenko (IKI) report on behalf of IKI GRB-FuN:
We observed the entire localisation region of BAT-GUANO/Swift of GRB250331D (Ronchini et al., GCN 39979), initially detected by GBM/Fermi (Fermi GBM team, GCN 39961) with AS-32 telescope of AbAO starting on 2025-03-31 (UT) 18:56:37. We report the results of optical transient searches in five XRT/Swift localisations reported in https://www.swift.ac.uk/ToO_GRBs/00021825/ and (Melandri et al., GCN 39998). Details of the preliminary photometry of the stacked image and the sources detected so far are given below.
