report:
We imaged the field of GRB 241104A detected by Fermi/GBM, SVOM/GRM,
SVOM/ECLAIRs, and EP/WXT (Fermi GBM Team, GCN Circ. 38075; Schanne et al.,
GCN Circ. 38078; SVOM/GRM Team, GCN Circ. 38082; Zhou et al., GCN Circ.
38081) during the commissioning of the COLIBRÍ (SVOM/F-GFT) telescope at
the Observatorio Astronómico Nacional on the Sierra de San Pedro Mártir in
Mexico.
We observed with the engineering test camera in a red filter that
approximates SDSS r. The data were reduced using custom software and then
analysed and calibrated against the PS1 catalog using the STDWeb service
(Karpov et al. 2022).
In 960 seconds of exposure from 2024-11-05 12:12 to 12:32 UTC (17.70 to
18.03 hours after the trigger), at high airmass, we detect no sources in
the ECLAIRs localization region other than those previously identified in
the PS1 or GAIA DR3 catalogs to a 5-sigma limiting AB magnitude of:
r > 20.8
We warmly thank the COLIBRÍ engineering team and the staff of the
Observatorio Astronómico Nacional on the Sierra de San Pedro Mártir.
