GRB 240529A: NOT optical observations
Abstract
We observed the field of GRB 240529A detected by Swift (Eyles-Ferris et al., GCN 36556) using the 2.56-m Nordic Optical Telescope (NOT) equipped with the ALFOSC camera, and obtained 3 x 100 s frames in the Sloan r-band and 3 x 100 s frames in z-band, starting at 04:51:50.7 UT on 2024-05-29, i.e., 1.89 hr after the BAT trigger. The optical afterglow (Eyles-Ferris et al., GCN 36556; Kumar et al. GCN 36559) of the burst is clearly detected in our stacked images. Preliminary photometry results are as follows: Tmid (UT) Tmid-T0(hr) Mag MagErr Filter 2024-05-29T04:54:47 1.94 16.48 0.05 r 2024-05-29T05:01:30 2.05 15.40 0.05 z calibrated with nearby PanSTARRS stars.
