E. Berger (Carnegie Observatories) and S.R. Kulkarni (Caltech) report on
behalf of a larger collaboration:
"We imaged the 8-arcsec XRT error circle (GCN 2975) of GRB 050124 (GCN
2972) with NIRC on the Keck I telescope on January 25.504 UT (24.6 hours
after the burst). A total of 9 min were obtained in the Ks band. We find
two sources within the XRT error circle, which we designate C1 and C2.
Object C1 is point-like and is located at (J2000):
RA = 12:51:30.7
DEC= 13:02:42
Object C2, 8.4" to the southwest, appears extended. Further observations
are planned to check for variability. A finding chart is available at:
