We observed the field of GRB 241217A / EP241217B, detected by SVOM/ECLAIRs (GCN 38594) and Einstein Probe (GCN 38606), using T1MPicduMidi, starting 5 hours after T0.
We obtain the following optical 5-sigma upperlimit at the SVOM/VT position (GCN 38600):
| Tstart (UTC) | Telescope | Exposure | Filter | Magnitude |
| 2024-12-17T22:09:50 | T1MPicduMidi | 126x60s | r | >21.46 (AB) |
We also do not detect any uncatalogued sources within the SVOM/ECLAIRs error region, down to a 5-sigma upper limit of r > 21.35 (AB).
All the data have been reduced by a single data processing pipeline, STDPipe (Karpov et al., 2022), and calibrated with the Pan-STARRS DR1 catalogue.
GRANDMA is a worldwide telescope network (grandma.ijclab.in2p3.fr) devoted to the observation of transients in the context of multi-messenger astrophysics (Antier et al. 2020 MNRAS 497, 5518).
