Date: Mon, 14 Apr 2003 11:51:50 +0200 From: "Berto Monard" <LAGMonar@csir.co.za> Subject: [vsnet-obs 44636] XTE J1807-294 optical observation In search of the optical counterpart The presently active millisecond pulsar XTE J1807-294 (IAUC 8113) was observed with the unfiltered CCD camera at the Bronberg Observatory in South Africa on 12 April 2003. Inspection of a stacked image centered on the position given in ATEL# 122 showed no new object inside an area of 1 arcmin around the reported position to a magnitude of 17.0CR. The actual limiting magnitude of this image is around 18.0CR, but the superdense MW field does not allow to ascertain inspection fainter than 17CR. This message may be refered to and the image can be requested from lagmonar@csir.co.za Berto Monard Bronberg Observatory / CBA Pretoria
