![]() TITLE: GCN CIRCULAR NUMBER: 10471 SUBJECT: GRB 100305A: P60 Observations DATE: 10/03/05 10:48:37 GMT FROM: S. Bradley Cenko at Caltech <cenko@srl.caltech.edu> S. B. Cenko (UC Berkeley) reports on behalf of a larger collaboration: We have imaged the field of GRB 100305A (Troja et al., GCN 10470) with the
automated Palomar 60-inch telescope. Images were obtained in the Sloan
g', r', i', and z' filters beginning at 09:09 UT on 5 MarcHETE 2010 (~ 3.5
minutes after the burst).
In coadded images, we find no sources inside the XRT error circle to the
following limits (calculated with respect several point sources in the
SDSS DR7 catalog):
Filter Mid-point t_burst Exposure Magnitude
-------------------------------------------------------------------------
r' 09:25 19.5 min 720.0 > 22.0
z' 09:27 21.7 min 420.0 > 20.5
i' 09:28 23.3 min 660.0 > 22.0
The lack of an optical afterglow candidate, together with the long
duration and lack of X-ray absorption in excess of the Galactic value
(Troja et al., GCN 10470), make GRB 100305A a candidate high redshift
event. We encourage additional follow-up at longer wavelengths.
