TITLE: GCN CIRCULAR NUMBER: 37511 SUBJECT: EP240913a/GRB 240913C: KAIT optical upper limit DATE: 24/09/14 21:19:56 GMT FROM: Weikang Zheng at UC Berkeley weikang@berkeley.edu
WeiKang Zheng (UCB), Xuhui Han (NAOC), Pinpin Zhang (NAOC) and
Alexei V. Filippenko (UCB) report on behalf of the KAIT GRB team:
The 0.76-m Katzman Automatic Imaging Telescope (KAIT), located at
Lick Observatory, responded to EP240913a/GRB 240913C (Li et al.,
GCN 37492; Yin et al., GCN Circ. 37493; Dasgupta et al., GCN 37505;
Pawar et al., GCN 37510) starting at 06:12 UT, Sep 14th, ~18.6
hours after the trigger. A set of 30x60s images were obtained in
the clear (roughly R) filters. Preliminary analysis do not reveal
any new optical counterpart candidate within the Swift-XRT error
circle of the X-ray counterpart candidate (Jiang et al., GCN 37497)
neither in single image, nor in the co-add images, consistent with
the reports from Asquini et al. (GCN 37499) and Zhu et al. (GCN
37500, 37501). The typical limiting magnitude of our single clear
image is about 19.5 mag, and about 20.5 mag in the co-add image.
