TITLE: GCN CIRCULAR NUMBER: 8732 SUBJECT: GRB 081226: Gemini-South imaging DATE: 08/12/26 03:26:41 GMT FROM: Edo Berger at Harvard E. Berger (Harvard), A. Cucchiara, and D. B. Fox (Penn State) report: "We imaged the error circle of GRB 081226 (GCN 8729) with GMOS on the Gemini-S telescope starting on 2008 Dec 26.04 UT. In a single 300 sec r-band image we detect the object located by GROND within the XRT error circle (GCN 8731). In addition, we find a second, fainter source within the error circle at (J2000): RA = 08:02:00.44 DEC = -69:01:48.9 with an uncertainty of about 0.5" in each coordinate. Additional observations are on-going to determine if either of these two sources is fading."
