Reichart report on behalf of the UNC team of the FUN GRB Collaboration:
Under the control of Skynet, PROMPT automatically observed the refined XRT
localization of GRB 050717 (Hurkett et al., GCN 3636) beginning 13.0 hours
after the burst.
We do not detect a source within this localization. 3-sigma limiting
magnitudes are based on 5 USNO-B1.0 stars:
Mean Time Integration Filter Limiting Telescope
Since GRB Time Magnitude
13h 40m 58 x 80s Rc 21.7 PROMPT-5
16h 01m 70 x 80s Ic 21.5 PROMPT-5
PROMPT is still being built and commissioned.
