E. Mazaeva (IKI), I. Reva (Fesenkov Astrophysical Institute), A. Volnova
(IKI), A. Pozanenko (IKI) report on behalf of larger GRB follow-up
collaboration:
We observed the V404 Cyg outburst detected by BAT/Swift (Barthelmy et
al., GCN 17929), GBM/Fermi (Younes, GCN 17932; Jenke GCN 17935), and
Konus-Wind (Golenetskiiet al., GCN 17938) with Zeiss-1000 (East) 1-m
telescope of Tien Shan Astronomical Observatory. Observations started on
June, 15 (UT) 18:50:44 and continued on June 16. We obtained several
images in R-filter. The V404 Cyg optical outburst reported early (Gazeas
et al, GCN 17931; Oates GCN 17933) is clearly visible. The V404 Cyg
is overexposed in our initial images but can be recovered with more
detailed analysis.
Preliminary light curve of the V404 Cyg can be found in
