TITLE: GCN GRB OBSERVATION REPORT NUMBER: 382 SUBJECT: Updated Astrometry for the IR Counterpart of GRB990705 DATE: 99/07/09 11:05:19 GMT FROM: Elena Pian at ITESRE-CNR,Bologna Updated Astrometry for the IR Counterpart of GRB990705 E. Palazzi, N. Masetti, and E. Pian (ITESRE-CNR, Bologna) report: "We have carefully checked the astrometry of the NTT+SOFI image taken on July 5.94 UT (Palazzi et al. GCN # 377), and have found that the correct coordinates of the IR transient are RA (2000) = 05 09 54.5, Dec (2000) = -72 07 53 The astrometric uncertainty is 0".5. The NTT+SOFI images relative to the IR transient detection (GCN # 377) can be viewed at http://tonno.tesre.bo.cnr.it/~masetti/grb990705.html" This message can be cited.
