TITLE: GCN CIRCULAR NUMBER: 15119 SUBJECT: GRB 130822A: WHT ACAM observations DATE: 13/08/23 12:00:09 GMT FROM: Klaas Wiersema at U Leicester K. Wiersema (Leicester), A. Levan (Warwick), D. Malesani (DARK) report on behalf of a larger collaboration: We observed the position of short GRB 130822A (Kocevski et al., GCN 15112) using the 4.2m William Herschel Telescope with the ACAM instrument and a Sloan r filter. We do not identify a source in or near the refined XRT error circle (Beardmore et al., GCN 15117) in a dataset of 20x50 seconds exposures (0.365 days after burst), taken under poor weather conditions. An upper limit of r=21.9 is found at the XRT position. We note the presence of a moderately bright galaxy (r=18.15) offset approximately 22" from the GRB location and with a photometric redshift of z=0.1. If associated with would correspond to an offset of 40 kpc.
