[vsnet-grb-info 72] GRB020127 Optical Observations



TITLE:   GCN GRB OBSERVATION REPORT
NUMBER:  1245
SUBJECT: GRB020127 Optical Observations
DATE:    02/02/06 02:00:48 GMT
FROM:    Brian Lee at Fermilab  <bclee@fnal.gov>

B. C. Lee, D. Q. Lamb, R. J. McMillan, D. G. York and D. E. Vanden Berk,
on behalf of the SDSS GRB team, report:

The field of GRB020127 (= H1902) (Ricker et al., GCN 1229) was
observed by the SDSS in two interlaced runs on 2001 December 18.34 and
19.30 UTC in the normal course of SDSS operations.  We have examined
the SDSS u* g* r* i* z* images in the vicinity of the eleven probable
X-ray sources seen in the first Chandra follow-up observation (Fox,
GCN 1241) that lie near or within the joint HETE-IPN localization
(Hurley et al., GCN 1232).  The tables below list the properties of
the objects we find that lie closest to the locations of the probable
X-ray sources.  The distance to the X-ray source position (col 3) is
listed in arcseconds.  SDSS RMS astrometric errors are 0.1 arcsec or
less.

Table notes:

Photo class: the SDSS photometric pipeline's morphological classification.
             Star = PSF like, galaxy = extended.
Probable QSO/QSO colors: This object's colors are similar to that of a
                         QSO.
Too faint: This object is faint enough that classification,
           magnitudes, and colors are likely to be unreliable.
Saturated: This object is saturated in one or more filters.  Position,
           magnitudes, and photo class are unreliable.

** Saturated or faint star: magnitudes, colors, classification and
