Pozanenko (IKI) report on behalf of larger GRB follow-up
collaboration:
We observed the field of the Swift GRB 100424A (Hoversten et al., GCN
10667) with AZT-11 telescope of CrAO observatory between (UT) Apr. 24
18:01 - 19:18 under seeing of about 3 arcsec. We detected a probable
source at coordinates (J2000) RA = 13:57:47.64 Dec = +01:32:21.06
with an uncertainty of 0.5 arcsec in both coordinates. The probable
source is located 2.8 arcsec from the enhanced XRT position with an
uncertainty (radius) of 1.7 arcsec (Evans et al., GCN 10669). Due to
low S/N we cannot confirm the detected source is a real object.
We do not detect any source at the position of afterglow candidate
(Cenko, et al., GCN 10682, Cenko, et al., GCN 10690).
The photometry of the probable source and upper limit of the
point-like source in a stacked image based on USNO-B1.0 star
(RA(J2000) = 13:57:45.54 Dec(J2000)= +01:33:29.7) and assuming R=17.80
is following:
T0+ Filter, Exposure, mag. UL
(mid, d) (s)
0.0882 R 21x180 20.1 +/- 0.3 20.4
