Eleonora Troja (GSFC) report:
We observed the field of GRB 180620A (Evans et al., GCN 22798) with the
COATLI 50-cm telescope and interim imager at the Observatorio
Astron��mico Nacional on the Sierra de San Pedro M��rtir
(http://coatli.astroscu.unam.mx) from 2018-06-20 08:35:37 to 11:17:31
(from 39.2 seconds after the trigger or 21.1 seconds after the alert to
2.7 hours after the trigger), obtaining a total of 6250 seconds of
exposure in the w filter.
We detect the source reported by Butler et al. (GCN Circ. 22799) with
w = 18.00 +/- 0.02
This magnitude is in the USNO system and is not corrected for Galactic
extinction in the direction of the GRB.
Our light curve shows a sharp initial fall from 16.5 mag to 17.3 mag,
followed by a slower rise to 16.7 mag (also seen by Butler et al.),
followed by a monotonic fall to 19.0 mag.
We thank the COATLI technical team (Fernando ��ngeles, Oscar Chapa,
Salvador Cuevas, Alejandro Farah, Jorge Fuentes, Rosal��a Langarica,
Fernando Quir��s, and Carlos Tejada) and the staff of the Observatorio
Astron��mico Nacional.
