TITLE: GCN CIRCULAR NUMBER: 7542 SUBJECT: GRB 080330A: PAIRITEL Infrared Detections DATE: 08/03/30 05:22:44 GMT FROM: Josh Bloom at UC Berkeley J. S. Bloom (UC Berkeley) and D. L. Starr (UCB; LCOGT) report: "We began observing the field of GRB 080330A (Mao et al. GCN 7537) at 2008-03-30 03:53:24.8 UT with PAIRITEL. In a stack of the first 33 frames (each 7.8 sec) exposures, consistent with the BAT/XRT/UVOT (7537, also Burrows et al. GCN 7541) and groundbased position (7536, 7539, 7538), we find a point source in JHKs bands. The preliminary photometry yields: # t (MJD) terr (day) filt mag merr 54555.164606 0.001499 h 15.33 0.04 54555.164606 0.001499 k 14.59 0.04 54555.164606 0.001499 j 16.00 0.04 We find a position relative to 2MASS of (700 mas rms uncertainty): ra = 11:17:04.496 dec = +30:37:23.53 J2000 Observations are ongoing."
