We conducted photometric observations of the GRB 241105A field (Fermi GBM team, GCN 38085; DeLaunay et al., GCN 38091; Frederiks et al., GCN 38103; Julakanti et al., GCN 38088; Izzo et al., GCN 38097; SVOM/VT team, GCN 38099; Hu et al., GCN 38106) at a redshift of z = 2.681 (Izzo et al., GCN 38167) using the James Webb Space Telescope (JWST; DDT program 9228, PI: Dimple). These observations, carried out with the NIRCam instrument in multiple bands (F070W, F115W, F150W, F277W, F356W, F444W), began on 2024-12-22 at 17:26 UT, approximately 47 days after the trigger (~12.7 days in the GRB rest frame).
The bright galaxy identified in archival images (Julakanti et al., GCN 38088) is well detected in all observed bands, and is resolved into at least two bright, extended spots about 0.2" apart. The afterglow position is within 0.06" of the NE spot centroid (about 500 pc in projection at z = 2.681). The NE patch has a magnitude of F277W(AB) = 22.54±0.03. This is significantly brighter than a SN akin to SN 1998bw at z = 2.681, which would peak at magnitude ~26.3 In the same filter, making it hard to determine the contribution from an underlying SN, should any be present. Subtraction of the galaxy's contribution, which will be possible with late-time imaging, will help to single out any transient emission.
We acknowledge the support from Weston Eck and Armin Rest (STScI) in preparing these observations.

We re-observed GRB 241105A (Fermi GBM Collaboration, GCN 38085) with the Australia Telescope Compact Array (ATCA) 15 days post-burst on 2024-11-20 (11:00-19:00 UT). We detected a radio source coincident with the location of the optical counterpart (Julakanti et al. GCN 38088, Izzo et al., GCN 38097; SVOM/VT team, GCN 38099; Hu et al., GCN 38106; Siegel et al., GCN 38110; Dichiara et al., GCN 38111; Rastinejad et al., GCN 38113; Tsalapatas et al., GCN 38119) at 9 GHz with a flux density of ~100 microJy/beam (rms of 11 microJy/beam). Further observations are planned.

We observed the likely short GRB 241105A (Fermi GBM Collaboration, GCN 38085) with the Australia Telescope Compact Array (ATCA) 4.8 days post-burst on 2024-11-10 (08:30-13:30 UT). No radio source was detected at the location of the optical counterpart (Julakanti et al. GCN 38088, Izzo et al., GCN 38097; SVOM/VT team, GCN 38099; Hu et al., GCN 38106; Siegel et al., GCN 38110; Dichiara et al., GCN 38111; Rastinejad et al., GCN 38113; Tsalapatas et al., GCN 38119) at 5.5 and 9 GHz, with 3-sigma upper limits of 54 and 39 microJy/beam, respectively.

Levan (Radboud Univ. and Warwick Univ.), B. P. Gompertz (Birmingham), N. R. Tanvir (U. Leicester), J. T. Palmerio (CEA/Irfu), report on behalf of the Stargate collaboration:
Using the most updated calibration files, we have produced an improved reduction of the VLT/FORS2 afterglow spectrum (Izzo et al., GCN 38097) of GRB 241105A (Fermi GBM Team, GCN 38085; Yulakanti et al., GCN 38088). Compared to our preliminary version based on archival calibrations, we have found a slight discrepancy in the wavelength solution.
Based on the same features already discussed in our previous GCN 38097, the refined redshift we measure for GRB 241105A is z = 2.681. This change implies a modest reduction of ~1% and ~2% in the Eiso and Liso values reported by Frederiks et al. (GCN 38103) and Pathak et al. (GCN 38104).

The Follow-up X-ray telescope (FXT) on board the Einstein Probe mission performed two follow-up observations of GRB 241105A (Fermi GBM team, GCN 38085; DeLaunay et al., GCN 38091; Frederiks et al., GCN 38103), and detected a fading uncataloged X-ray source. The EP-FXT loaction of the X-ray source is consistent with the location of the optical counterpart of GRB 241105A (Julakanti et al., GCN 38088; Izzo et al., GCN 38097; SVOM/VT team, GCN 38099; Hu et al., GCN 38106
