D. A. Perley (UC Berkeley), D. Lai, C. Rockosi (UCSC/Lick), and J. S.
Bloom (UC Berkeley) report:
After the GRB alert we slewed to the position with the Keck I telescope,
equipped with LRIS. We detect a possible new source at a position
consistent with the XRT position in the LRIS guider camera near the
detection limit of the guider (~20-21st mag). Spectroscopic
observations began at ~13:01 UT. Results will be reported in
forthcoming circulars.
