We reinspected our previous observations of the field of FRB 20251229A (Mulyk et al., GCN Circ. 43334) reported by Globus et al. (GCN Circ. 43431), focusing on the updated baseband localization provided by the CHIME/FRB Collaboration (Mason et al., GCN Circ. 43431).
We analysed the data and performed image subtraction using STDWeb/STDPipe (Karpov 2025), with templates from the Pan-STARRS DR2 catalog (Flewelling et al. 2020). In this further inspection, we do not detect any new source or evidence for brightness variability of any object within the localization uncertainty region (Mason et al., GCN Circ. 43431), down to the following 5-sigma limits:
r > 22.5,
z > 21.5.
We thank the staff of the Observatorio Astronómico Nacional on the Sierra de San Pedro Mártir and the COLIBRÍ and DDRAGO engineering teams.
COLIBRÍ is an astronomical observatory developed and operated jointly by France (AMU, CNES and CNRS) and Mexico (UNAM and SECIHTI). It is located at the Observatorio Astronómico Nacional on the Sierra de San Pedro Mártir, Baja California, Mexico.
