(Leicester) report:
We observed the position of GRB 101219A (Gelbord et al., GCN 11461) with
GMOS-S on the Gemini South telescope in the i-band starting at 2010 Dec
19 13:14:04 UT (43 min after the burst). In a stack of the first five
180-sec exposures we detect a faint object within the XRT error circle
(GCN #11461) at coordinates (J2000):
RA = 04:58:20.478
DEC = -02:32:22.17
The object is also weakly detected in a single r-band frame, and appears
to be mildly extended in the i-band images. Further observations and
analysis are underway.
