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.
