GRB 000131: HST Detection of the Host Galaxy
J. S. Bloom, D. Fox, S. R. Kulkarni, T. J. Galama, on behalf the
larger Caltech-NRAO-CARA GRB Collaboration:
"We observed the field of GRB 000131 (Hurley et al., GCN #529; Andersen et
al., 2000, A&A, 364, L54) on 2001 August 17-19 UT using the Hubble Space
Telescope. With a total integration time of 24200 s in the WFPC/F814W
filter, we detect a faint galaxy system coincident with the position of
the optical transient using differential astrometry with the VLT/FORS1
images (GCN #534)."
An image of the field and the putative host system is linked from

The 3-sigma uncertainty contour of the OT position is shown in this
image.
