We report optical follow-up observations of the ATLAS18bcde/AT2018kpo (Smartt et al. ATel #12326, T.-W. Chen ATel #12329, J. Wang et al. ATel #12330), with the 0.7m robotic GROWTH-India telescope at the Indian Astronomical Observatory. The target was observed on 2018/12/25 in g, r and i filters. Magnitudes were calibrated using PanSTARRs reference stars in the field.
The estimated magnitudes are:
MJD Filter Magnitude
58477.771 g 17.36 ± 0.04
58477.778 r 17.61 ± 0.04
58477.788 i 17.85 ± 0.08
The magnitudes are consistent with those reported by Chen (Atel #12329).
GROWTH India telescope is a 70-cm telescope set up by the Indian Institute of Astrophysics and the Indian Institute of Technology Bombay with support from the Indo-US Science and Technology Forum (IUSSTF) and the Science and Engineering Research Board (SERB) of the Department of Science and Technology (DST), Government of India (https://sites.google.com/view/growthindia/). It is located at the Indian Astronomical Observatory (Hanle), operated by the Indian Institute of Astrophysics (IIA).
