GRB 211106A: Third HST Observation
Abstract
"We obtained a third observation at the site of the short GRB 211106A (GCNC #31049) with the Hubble Space Telescope starting on 2021 December 24.35 (48.15 days post-trigger, 29.0 days after Visit 1 - GCNC #31146, and 22.9 days after Visit 2 - GCNC #31157) using ACS/F814W for 2 orbits and WFC3/F110W for 2 orbits, as part of program 16303 (PI: Berger). The source identified in both our previous HST observations and near the reported CXO position of GRB 211106A (GCNC #31145) is still detected, with unchanged magnitudes of m(F110W) ~ 25.6 mag and m(F814W) ~ 25.7 mag. We also detect an extension to the north of the source in stacked F814W imaging (Visit 1 + Visit 3) as previously noted in the F110W imaging (GCNC #31049). The lack of any change over this 29-day baseline, the relatively flat m(F814W)-m(F110W) color, the extension in both bands, and the small offset from the CXO position (GCNC #31145) support the hypothesis that this source is the more likely host galaxy of GRB 211106A."
