The Nazarbayev University Transient Telescope at Assy-Turgen Astrophysical Observatory (NUTTelA-TAO) observed the field of GRB 240905E, 10 seconds after receipt of an automated GCN / BAT position alert, in Sloan g' and r' bands, with the Burst Simultaneous Three-Channel Imager (Grossan, Kumar & Smoot 2019, JHEA, 32, 14).
We started observations of GRB 240905E (Dichiara et al., GCN 37397) at UT 18:26:58 on 2024-09-05, 55 seconds after the BAT trigger. Observations were made in windy conditions. We report the following upper limit results:
start time t_m-t0(s) end time UL g' UL r' exposure_time (image x s)
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
18:26:58 57 18:27:03 17.01 17.08 10x0.5
18:39:41 908 18:42:41 18.60 18:61 3x60
20:36:14 7991 20:42:14 19.11 19.15 1x360
The start and end time is in UT. t_m is the middle time, t0 is the BAT trigger time, t_m-t0 is given in seconds. UL gives the 5 sigma upper limit sensitivity in magnitudes, for images co-added to the given exposure time. Calibration was done with 4 Pan-STARRS catalog stars on our images. No color corrections were applied to the values above.
