TITLE: GCN GRB OBSERVATION REPORT NUMBER: 2363 SUBJECT: GRB 030824: Candidate Afterglow (or Variable/Flare Star?) DATE: 03/08/25 09:59:50 GMT FROM: Jane Moran at U.North Carolina <moranj@physics.unc.edu> J. Moran, M. Nysewander, D. Reichart, P. Yim, C. Zdanowicz, and J. Reichart report on behalf of the UNC GRB team of the FUN GRB collaboration: We are currently observing the error region of GRB 030824 (HETE 2821) with the 0.6-meter Morehead Observatory telescope in R band through haze and fog. We detect a source that does not appear in DSS/POSS-II or 2MASS, at: RA: 00:04:36 DEC: 19:48:57 This source is near our detection limit, but is clearly visible in most of our individual frames, which now span many hours. We tentatively estimate its magnitude to be R ~ 17. We cannot rule out the possibility of a variable/flare star. A more detailed analysis will follow.
