Zh. Abdullayev (NU), Zh. Maksut (NU), T. Komesh (NU), B. Grossan (UCB, NU), D. Berdikhan (NU), M. Krugov (FAI) and E. Abdikamalov (NU) report on behalf of the Energetic Cosmos Laboratory:
The Nazarbayev University Transient Telescope at Assy-Turgen Astrophysical Observatory (NUTTelA-TAO) observed the field of GRB 241030B observing in Sloan g' and r' bands, with the Burst Simultaneous Three-Channel Imager (BSTI; Grossan, Kumar & Smoot 2019, JHEA, 32, 14).
We started observations at 20:15:59 UT on 2024-10-30, 1.7 h after the BAT trigger. Observations were made in partly cloudy conditions. No source consistent with the XRT (P.A. Evans 2024, GCN Circ. 37983) was detected. We report the following results:
start time t-t0(s) end time UL g' UL r' exposure_time (s)
-----------------------------------------------------------------
20:15:59 6100 20:16:59 19.2 19.0 60
start time is in UT. t-t0(s) gives the time since trigger, in seconds. UL g' and UL r' give the 5 sigma upper limit sensitivity in magnitudes, for images co-added to the given exposure time. The results in in the table corresponds to co-adds of an initial short exposure image sequence of 0.5 s (these sub-second exposures are read-noise suppressed by our EMCCD cameras, with high gain electron multiplication active). Calibration was done with the 3 bright Pan-STARRS catalog stars on our images.

FROM: Benjamin Schneider at MIT <bschn(a)mit.edu>
Benjamin Schneider (MIT), Christophe Adami (LAM/Pytheas/AMU) report on behalf of a larger collaboration:
We observed the field of EP241021a (Hu et al., GCN 37834) using the T193cm telescope at Observatoire de Haute-Provence (France) equipped with the MISTRAL spectro-imager. A total of 55 min of exposure (1x300s + 5x600s) were obtained in the r-band starting at 21:11:05 UT on 2024-10-31 (~10.7 days after the trigger). The optical transient and its rebrightening (Fu et al., GCNs 37840, 37842; Li et al., GCNs 37844, 37846; Ror et al., GCN 37845; Zheng et al., GCN 37849; Moskvitin & Spiridonova, GCN 37850; Pugliese et al., GCN 37852; Pérez-Fournon et al., GCN 37858; Bochenek & Perley, GCN 37869; Kumar et al., GCN 37875; Busmann et al., GCN 37877; J-Jin et al., GCN 37892; Freeburn et al., GCNs 37911, 37942, Quirola-Vasquez et al., GCN 37930; Freeburn et al., GCN 37942; Moskvitin et al. GCN 37951; Pan et al., GCN 37968; Klingler et al., GCN 37990; Carotenuto et al. GCN 38014) is clearly detected in our stacked image.
The preliminary magnitude derived for the source is
r = 22.01 +/- 0.05 mag (AB)
The photometric calibration was performed using nearby stars from the PanSTARRS catalog and the magnitude is not corrected for Galactic extinction.
We acknowledge the excellent support from Observatoire de Haute-Provence and in particular Jean Balcaen for the MISTRAL observations.

FROM: Benjamin Schneider at MIT <bschn(a)mit.edu>
Benjamin Schneider (MIT), Geoffrey Mo (MIT), Jill Juneau (MIT), Christopher Layden (MIT), Gustav Pettersson (MIT), Nathan Lourie (MIT), Robert Simcoe (MIT) report on behalf of a larger team:
We observed the field of GRB 241030A (Klingler et al., GCN 37956; Beardmore et al., GCN 37962; Wang et al., GCN 37972; Pillera et al., GCN 37979; Ridnaia et al., GCN 37982; Ambrosi et al., GCN 37988; Wu et al., GCN 37997) with the Palomar 1-m telescope, equipped with the large format COSMOS-8k Teledyne camera currently under testing.
Our observations began at 2024-10-31T02:05:52 UTC (~20.4 hours after the GRB trigger) and consisted of 20x30s exposures in the r’ band. In the stacked image, we clearly detect the optical counterpart of GRB 241030A (Klingler et al., GCN 37956; Watson et al., GCN 37957; Fernández-Rodríguez et al., GCN 37958; Zheng et al., GCN 37959; An et al., GCN 37960; Higuchi et al., GCN 37963; Qiu et al., GCN 37965; Lin et al., GCN 37966; Wu et al., GCN 37970; Breeveld & Klingler, GCN 37974; Méndez-Lapido et al., GCN 37993, Moskvitin et al, GCN 38016; Busmann et al., GCN 38019).
The preliminary magnitude derived for the source is
r’ = 20.2 +/- 0.1 mag (AB)
The photometric calibration was performed using nearby stars from the PanSTARRS catalog and the magnitude is not corrected for Galactic extinction.
