GRB 010412: Optical observations	Price, Axelrod, & Schmidt
	GCN 1038

SOURCE: GCN
TITLE: GCN GRB OBSERVATION REPORT
NUMBER: 1038
SUBJECT: GRB 010412: Optical observations
DATE: 01/04/13 20:50:31 GMT
FROM: Paul Price at RSAA, ANU at CIT <pap@srl.caltech.edu>

P. A. Price, T. S. Axelrod, and B. P. Schmidt (RSAA/ ANU) report:

"We have observed the error box of GRB 010412 (Piro et al., GCN 1033; Hurley et al., GCN 1036) with the robotic 50-inch telescope at Mount Stromlo Observatory at 2001 Apr 13.73 UT. Our 3x300 sec exposures cover the entire error box to a limiting magnitude of R ~ 20.0mag, based on common stars with the USNO-A2.0 catalogue. We do not detect any optical transient within the error box, based on visual comparison with the Digital Palomar Sky Survey. The high stellar density and large Galactic reddening (A_V ~ 1.5 mag) at this low Galactic latitude (-4.2 deg) may, however, obscure a potential OT."
