TITLE: GCN GRB OBSERVATION REPORT NUMBER: 1292 SUBJECT: GRB020322: Optical Observations DATE: 02/03/22 15:48:16 GMT FROM: Derek Fox at CIT D.W. Fox, J.S. Bloom, and P.A.A. Lopes (Caltech) report on behalf of a larger collaboration: "We have observed the full error circle of GRB020322 (GCN #1290, GCN #1291) with the Palomar 60-inch telescope, beginning at 10:39 UT, 7.7 hours after the burst. Our R-band and I-band images show no new objects by comparison with DPOSS images of the region (limiting magnitudes R~20.8, I~19.5). Comparison with images taken roughly 2 hours after our first images also fails to reveal any significantly fading (delta-R > 0.3 mag) R-band sources, to limits slightly deeper than the DPOSS limit, R~22. Further analyses of these data are ongoing."
