[vsnet-grb-info 35409] GRB 240914A: ESO-NTT optical observations
TITLE: GCN CIRCULAR NUMBER: 37498 SUBJECT: GRB 240914A: ESO-NTT optical observations DATE: 24/09/14 10:57:00 GMT FROM: Paolo D'Avanzo at INAF - OAB <paolo.davanzo@inaf.it> L. Asquini, M. Landoni, P. D'Avanzo, S. Campana (INAF-Brera), C. Farias (ESO/ La Silla) report: We observed the field of GRB 240914A (SVOM team, GCN Circ. 37495) with the ESO-NTT telescope equipped with EFOSC2 starting at 2024-09 14T08:38:49 UT (i.e. about 7 hours after the burst T0), during an on-site test run for the scheduler of the incoming SOXS instrument. Observations have been carried out in imaging mode with the Gunn r filter, pointing to the NGC 1380 galaxy position with a 4’ x 4’ field of view. Visual inspection with archival optical images of NGC 1380 from the Legacy Survey shows no clear evidence for new transients. From preliminary photometry, we estimate a 3sigma limit of r ~ 22.5 mag (AB), for a region in the outskirts of the NGC 1380 galaxy. Further observations and analysis are ongoing.
