Mohammad Odeh (Al-Khatim Observatory, AKO, operated by the International
Astronomical Center in Abu Dhabi, UAE), and Shaikha Alshamsi, Nuha Manal
Pattani, and Nidhal Guessoum (American University of Sharjah, UAE), report:
Following up on our first observation (GCN 38115) of the field of EP241107a
(detected by EP-WXT, Zhou et al., GCN38112), we report observations of the
source over three time periods starting on 07 November 2024 at 15:40 (UT),
90 minutes from the trigger, with our 0.36m f/7.7 robotic telescope.
We obtained 30x180-sec exposures in Ic filter of the uncatalogued object
detected at R.A. (J2000): 02:20:02.45, Dec. (J2000): +03:20:02.2.
The following table summarizes the results of the images, calculated using
the Atlas catalog as a reference:
-----------------------------------------------------------------
ObsTime (mid), Exposure (sec), Filter, Mag
-----------------------------------------------------------------
2024-11-07T15:55:21Z, 10 x 180s (stacked), Ic, 17.95 +/- 0.19
2024-11-07T16:26:29Z, 10 x 180s (stacked), Ic, 18.11 +/- 0.24
2024-11-07T16:57:37Z, 10 x 180s (stacked), Ic, 18.48 +/- 0.25
