TITLE: GCN CIRCULAR NUMBER: 15121 SUBJECT: GRB 130822A: Gemini Observations DATE: 13/08/23 20:43:44 GMT FROM: S. Bradley Cenko at Caltech S. B. Cenko (NASA / GSFC), D. A. Perley (Caltech), A. Cucchiara (UCSC), W. Fong (CfA), and A. J. Levan (U. Warwick) report on behalf of a larger collaboration: We have imaged the location of the X-ray afterglow (Beardmore et al., GCN 15117) of the short GRB 130822A (Kocevski et al., GCN 15112) with the Gemini Multi-Object Spectrograph on the 8 m Gemini North telescope. We obtained a total integration of 600 s in the i' filter beginning at 12:56 UT on 23 August 2013 (0.88 d after the Swift trigger). We detect no sources within the enhanced XRT error circle. Using nearby point sources from SDSS for calibration, we calculate an upper limit of i' > 24.5 mag at this time.
