We report observations of the GW-MMADS sources AT2024hdr and AT2024hdl (GCN #36273) with the WiFES optical spectrograph on the ANU 2.3m telescope.
A weak source is visible near the reported location of AT2024hdl.
We report on the redshifts of the likely host galaxies.
| Source | Host Redshift | Comment
| --------- | ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
|
| AT2024hdl | 0.0416 | Redshift based on weak emission line features
| AT2024hdr | 0.0659 | AGN features
The ANU 2.3m telescope is run by the Australian National University
