GRB 100305A: Super-LOTIS early observations
?
Posted by Adria C. Updike
10/03/09 01:04:25 GMT

We observed the field of GRB 100305A (Troja et al., GCN 10470) with the 0.6m Super-LOTIS telescope located at Kitt Peak National Observatory beginning 106 seconds after the trigger. Observations were carried out in the R band for approximately 45 minutes under good conditions. We do not detect any sources within the XRT enhanced error circle (Osborne et al., GCN 10474) or the source detected...Full Text

We observed GRB 100302A afterglow position (Goad et al. GCN 10460, Huang et al. GCN 10461 and Cucchiarar & Fox GCN 10465) in i-band (12x300s) using 1.0 telescope at Mt. Lemmon (Arizona, US) operated by the Korea Astronomy Space Science Institute. No significant detection of afterglow in our i-band combined image at 11.0709 hours after the burst. The 3-sigma limiting magnitude is 20.8, which calibrated...Full Text

Using the data set from T-239 to T+963 sec from the recent telemetry downlink, we report further analysis of BAT GRB 100305A (trigger #414905) (Troja, et al., GCN 10470). The BAT ground-calculated position is RA, Dec = 168.373, 42.381 deg which is RA(J2000) = 11h 13m 29.5s Dec(J2000) = +42d 22' 50.7" with an uncertainty of 1.9 arcmin, (radius, sys+stat, 90% containment).

The Swift/UVOT began settled observations of the field of GRB 100305A 144s after the BAT trigger (Troja et al., GCN 10470). Data summed from the first and second orbits do not reveal a source at the enhanced position of the X-ray afterglow (Osborne et al., GCN 10474) or the candidate afterglow reported by Cucchiara et al. (GCN 10473). The 3-sigma upper limits for the finding chart (fc) and summed...Full Text

We have analysed 2.5 ks of the Swift-XRT data for GRB 100305A (Troja et al. GCN 10470), from 145 s to 6.0 ks after the BAT trigger. The data comprise 84 s in Windowed Timing (WT) mode with the remainder in Photon Counting (PC) mode. The best position of the X-ray afterglow is the UVOT enhanced XRT position given in Osborne et al. (GCN 10474). Analysis of the light curve shows an initial steep...Full Text

(GCN 10470) using the Sonoita Research Observatory (SRO) 35cm telescope in southern Arizona, utilizing an automatic VOevent trigger. The exposures began about 3 minutes after the burst and continued for approximately two hours. 20 Rc-band, 10 V-band, and a set of BVRI exposures for field calibration were acquired.

Using 2448 s of XRT Photon Counting mode data and 6 UVOT images for GRB 100305A, we find an astrometrically corrected X-ray position (using the XRT-UVOT alignment and matching UVOT field sources to the USNO-B1 catalogue): RA, Dec = 168.36691, +42.40393 which is equivalent to: RA (J2000): 11h 13m 28.06s Dec (J2000): +42d 24' 14.1" with an uncertainty of 1.7 arcsec (radius, 90% confidence).

We acquired unfiltered CCD images of GRB 100302A XRT error box (J.R.Cummings, GCN 10458) with Ondrejov 65cm telescope + CCD. AS the CCD is equipped with IR-block filter its sensitivity in I band is very close to 0. Observation started March 3 00:40 UT (4h47m after the BAT trigger). During observation which run till 03:00 UT 45 of 3 minutes exposures were obtained. On the combined image we do not...Full Text

The Swift/UVOT began settled observations of the field of GRB 100302A 132 s after the BAT trigger (Cummings et al., GCN 10458). No optical afterglow consistent with the XRT position (Cummings et al., GCN 10458) is detected in the initial UVOT exposures. We do not see any source within the XRT error circle that might correspond to the R and I-band source reported by Huang et al. (GCN 10461) from...Full Text

"On March 3.40 UT we observed the field of GRB 100302A (Cummings et al., GCN 10458) with the Gemini-N telescope and the GMOS spectrograph. In our 300s i'-band acquisition image we clearly identify a source inside the XRT refined error circle (Goad et al. 10460). Using 3 USNO-B1 stars we calibrated our photometry and obtained i' = 22.01 +- 0.05 mag This value is significantly below the detection...Full Text
