GRB 200716C: possible host galaxy from the SDSS
Abstract
Inspection of the SDSS reveals the presence of an extended object, classified as a galaxy, at a position consistent (within ~ 1") with the one reported for the optical afterglow of GRB 200716C (Ukwatta et al., GCN Circ. 28124; Lipunov et al., GCN Circ. 28125; Hu et al., GCN Circ. 28126). According to the SDSS DR16 this galaxy has AB magnitudes: u = 21.48 +/- 0.21, g = 20.46 +/- 0.05, r = 19.29 +/- 0.03, i = 18.88 +/- 0.03, z = 18.54 +/- 0.09 and a photoz = 0.348 +/- 0.053. Further details can be found at the following link: http://skyserver.sdss.org/dr16/en/tools/explore/Summary.aspx?id=1237665442053095703 This object can be the host galaxy of GRB 200716C.
