GCN Circular 31805

Dimple, Rahul Gupta, Ankur Ghosh, Naveen Dukiya, Amit Kumar, Amit Ror, Amar
Aryan, Kiran Wani, Kuntal Misra, and S. B. Pandey (ARIES) report:


We observed the fast and red optical transient ZTF22aaajecp/AT2022cmc
Not found
 
 

discovered with the Zwicky Transient Facility (Andreoni et al., GCN 31590
Not found
 
 
)
using 1.3m Devasthal Fast Optical Telescope (DFOT) located at Devasthal
observatory of Aryabhatta Research Institute of Observational Sciences
(ARIES), India. The observations were carried out at multiple epochs. Here,
we report our last night's observations, which started on 22-03 28
at 19:32:05 UT~ 45.4 days after the first detection by the ZTF. We have
taken multiple frames having an exposure time of 120 sec in the R filter.
We stacked the images after the alignment. We detected ZTF22aaajecp/AT2022cmc

our stacked image. The estimated preliminary magnitude is following:

Date Start_UT T_start-T0 (days) Filter  Exp time (sec)       magnitude
==============================================================
2022-03-28 19:32   ~45.4           R        120 sec*60            22.04 +/-
0.10


The magnitude is not corrected for the Galactic extinction in the direction
of the burst. Photometric calibration is performed using the standard stars
from the USNO-B1.0 catalog.
