MASTER Official Science Release N3

MASTER VWF4 Kislovodsk GRB081130B prompt optical observations

We do not detect any new source inside error box (A.J. van der Horst, GCN Circ 8593) brighter than 12.0m before and after trigger time.

The optical fluence during the 15s-GRBurst is limited by Fopt < 1.5 x 10-9 erg/cm2 excluding possible absorbtion.

The circle is the Fermi GBM error box ( A.J. van der Horst, GCN CIRCULAR 8593)

One of the four  MASTER Very Wide Field Cameras located at Kislovodsk
(http://apollo.sai.msu.ru/, D=50 mm, 4x1000 square degrees, 35'' per pix)
has observed  Fermi  error box  (A.J. van der Horst, GCN Circ 8593) with 
5s exposures during all night without time gap between images (Gorbovskoy 
et al., GCN 8585).

These unfiltered images are calibrated relative to Tycho stars (V).
The magnitude limit of the each emage is  ~11m.

Now we present results final result.

We do not detect any new source inside error box  (A.J. van der Horst, 
GCN Circ 8593)  brighter than 12.0 mag before and 
after trigger time.

The optical fluence during the 15s-GRBurst is limited by

                      <= 1.5 x 10_-9 erg/cm_2
                      
                      excluding possible  absorbtion.
                      The fluence (50-300 keV) in this time
                      interval is (1.3 +/- 0.1)E-6 erg/cm^2 (A.J. van der
Horst, GCN Circ 8593).

So:

Optical Fluence/Gamma-Fluence(50-300 keV) ~ < 1/1000

The ratio for GRB080319B is

Optical Fluence/Gamma-Fluence(15-150 keV) ~ 1/25

(Naked Eye GRB, Racusin, Karpov et al., Nature, vol.455, 183, 2008).
