D. Allen, J. Silvey and R. Canterna report on behalf of the RBO Team of the
FUN GRB Collaboration:
We observed the position of the afterglow of GRB 050502a (Yost et al., GCN
3322; Gotz et al., GCN 3323) with the Red Buttes Observatory 24-inch
telescope under high humidity and non photometric conditions.
We do not detect the afterglow down to the following values:
UT Start Time Filter Limiting
Since GRB (hr) Magnitude
08:04 5.83 R 19.1
09:08 6.90 R 20.1
09:19 7.08 I 18.3
10:40 8.43 I 19.0
10-sigma limiting magnitudes were derived from the USNO-B1.0 catalogue.
