TITLE: GCN CIRCULAR
NUMBER: 6994
SUBJECT: GRB 071025: R/I-band update
DATE: 07/10/25 07:56:36 GMT

M. Im, I. Lee (Seoul National University), and Y. Urata
(Saitama University) on behalf of the EAFON team:
We coninue examination of the data obtained with
the Mt. Lemmon (Arizona, US) 1.0m telescope. The afterglow appears
to be decaying rapidly after ~2400 secs of the burst.
Re-examination of R-band images show a faint smudge which could
be due to the afterglow. The detection is consistent with GCN
report 071025 (Rykoff et al.), and we set the limit of R -I > ~1.7 mag
from our R-band observation. Note that our R-band filter has a
long tail toward red wavelenth.
Below are rough estimates of I-band magnitudes based on USNO-B stars
(error ~ 0.15mag).

05:08:42 300s 17.2
05:30:48 300s 18.1
Further examination of the BVRI data is ongoing to check
whether this is a red GRB or high-z GRB.

We acknowldege the help of the LOAO operators, J.H. Yoon,
for this observation.
