TITLE: GCN CIRCULAR NUMBER: 38024 SUBJECT: GRB 241030B: NUTTelA-TAO / BSTI Optical Limits DATE: 24/11/01 04:57:52 GMT FROM: Toktarkhan Komesh at Nazarbayev University <toktarkhan.komesh@nu.edu.kz> 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. ---------------------------------- NU = Nazarbayev University, Astana, Kazakhstan UCB = University of California, Berkeley, USA FAI = Fesenkov Astrophysical Institute, Kazakhstan This research has been funded by the Science Committee of the Ministry of Science and Higher Education of the Republic of Kazakhstan (Grant No. AP14870504).
