Tosti, V.Testa, S.D. Vergani, F. Vitali report on behalf of the REM
team:
The robotic 60-cm REM telescope located at La Silla (Chile) observed
automatically the field of the GRB 080310 on March 10 08:40:27 UT
(about 150 seconds after the burst).
We detect the afterglow reported in GCN 7381 and 8383 (Chornock et
al.) and GCN 7382 (Cummings et al.).
The object has H~14.5 at about 5 min from the burst time.
Further analyses and observations are in progress.
