RTT150 was one of the first 1.5m-class telescopes pointed to the
afterglow. Observations were started approximately 6 hours after the
burst. During the first 5 hours of our observations the afterglow faded
exactly as a power law with index -1.19+-0.01 in each of the BVRI Bessel
filters. After that, in all BVRI filters simultaneously we observe a
steepening of the power law light curve. The power law decay index smoothly
approaches the value &approx -1.9, observed by other observatories
later. This power law break occurs at t-t_0 ≈ 0.57 days and lasts for
≈ 0.1 days. We observe no variability above the gradual fading with
the upper limits 10-1% on time scales 0.1-1000s. Spectral flux distribution
in four BVRI filters corresponds to the power law spectrum with spectral
index α = 0.66 +- 0.01. The change of the power law decay index in the
end of our observations can be interpreted as a signature of collimated
ultrarelativistic jet. The afterglow flux distribution in radio, optical and
x-rays is consistent with synchrotron spectrum.
The observations were continued untill approximately 100 days after the
bursts. A significant amount of these data are still unpublished or
published only after preliminary analysys in GCN circulars.
