We observed the field of the Fermi GBM GRB 210529B (Fermi Collaboration,
GCN Circ. 30101) with the DDOTI wide-field imager at the Observatorio
Astron��mico Nacional on Sierra San Pedro Martir (
http://ddoti.astroscu.unam.mx) from 2021-05-30 03:35 to 11:19 UTC (3.7 to
11.4 hours after the trigger).
We observed a region of 20.4 degrees in RA by 20.4 degrees in declination,
with a 3 x 2 grid, centered on the Fermi GBM Final Position RA: 230.01,
DEC: +36.34 (J2000 degrees). This region contains 6 instrumental fields or
about 400 square degrees. We obtained 58 minutes of exposure per
instrumental field in the w filter. We obtained AB photometry by
calibration against the APASS catalog.
We detect no likely candidates for the afterglow to our 10-sigma upper
limits of w = 20.25-20.58 (inter-quartile).
We thank the staff of the Observatorio Astron��mico Nacional in San Pedro
Martir.
