TITLE: GCN GRB OBSERVATION REPORT NUMBER: 3582 SUBJECT: GRB050713: possible I-band afterglow DATE: 05/07/13 06:44:19 GMT FROM: Daniele Malesani at SISSA-ISAS,Trieste,Italy D. Malesani (SISSA), P. D'Avanzo (INAF-OAB), E. Palazzi (INAF/IASF, Bo), G.L. Israel (INAF, OARm), G. Chincarini (Univ. Milano-Bicocca), L. Stella (INAF, OARm), M. Pedani (INAF, TNG) report on behalf on a larger collaboration: We observed the field of GRB 050713 (Falcone et al., GCN 3581) with the Italian TNG telescope, located at the Canary Islands. The object was observed after twilight, with a seeing of ~1.4", starting at 5.274 UT (0.8 h after the GRB). A 2-minutes exposure was acquired in the I filter. Inside the XRT error circle, we detect one source at the coordinates (J2000): alpha = 21:22:09.6, delta = +77:04:29 with an uncertainty of ~1". We note two further objects lying just outside the nominal XRT error circle: 1: alpha = 21:22:11.8, delta = +77:04:27 2: alpha = 21:22:08.4, delta = +77:04:39 All these object are fainter than the DSS limit, so we cannot confirm if any of them is related to the GRB. Further analysis is in progress. A finding chart can be found here: http://www.sissa.it/~malesani/GRB/050713/GRB050713_finder.jpg This message can be cited.
