TITLE: GCN CIRCULAR NUMBER: 7515 SUBJECT: GRB 080325: NIR afterglow candidate DATE: 08/03/25 15:43:08 GMT FROM: Adria C. Updike at Clemson U Adria C. Updike, Brian C. Donehew, Ian Oliver, and Dieter H. Hartmann (Clemson University) report: We imaged the field of GRB 080325 (Vetere et al., GCN 7512) with the KPNO 2.1m + FLAMINGOS in the J band beginning 5 hours and 42 minutes after the trigger. Within the enhanced XRT position (Osborne et al., GCN 7513), we detect a source at RA = 18:31:34.185, Dec = +36:31:19.60 (+/- 2 arcseconds). Days after trigger Band Magnitude -------------------------------------------------- 0.23775 J 18.76 +/- 0.14 0.25022 J 18.85 +/- 0.13 0.26427 J 19.42 +/- 0.26 Magnitudes are derived relative to the 2MASS catalog. This sequence suggests a fading source. Further observations are required to confirm this detection. This message may be cited.
