TITLE: GCN CIRCULAR NUMBER: 6772 SUBJECT: Candidate Orphan GRB Optical Transient in IC 4779 DATE: 07/09/01 06:38:20 GMT FROM: Andrew S. Fruchter at STScI A. Fruchter, J. Graham and A. Levan report for a larger group: We observed the field of the candidate orphan optical transient in IC 4779 with GMOS on the Gemini South telescope for a total integration time of 10 minutes, starting at 1:03 UT on 1 September 2007. The sky was photometric and the seeing in the combined image was 0."5. We find no evidence of a point source on the field of the galaxy at the location of the candidate orphan down to a magnitude of about 24.5 in r. We thank Alain Klotz for sending us copies of the original discovery images, which allowed us to align the Gemini and discovery images with an accuracy of nearly 0."1.
