J. Brodney Fitzgerald and Jerome A. Orosz (San Diego State
University) report:
We report additional observations of the field of GRB 030329 (Peterson
& Price, GCN 1985) made with the 1 meter telescope at SDSU's Mount
Laguna Observatory. Images were taken in the Bessell B, V, R, and I
filters on the night of 2003 April 1 (UT) in photometric conditions.
The data were reduced and calibrated in the same manner as previously
reported (GCN 2056). Our observations are summarized in the 4 tables
below. The CCD images of the GRB field and some Landolt fields are
available upon request to orosz@sciences.sdsu.edu.
The eclipsing binary we reported on previously had a small secondary
eclipse (about 0.1 mag deep) centered near 8:15 on April 1 (UT). If
the orbit is circular and if no eclipses were missed between March 31
and April 1, then the orbital period would be about 2.3 days.
Our GRB observations follow:
