TITLE: GCN CIRCULAR NUMBER: 33307 SUBJECT: GRB 230205A: SUBARU HSC pre-imaging for host galaxy search DATE: 23/02/09 16:31:10 GMT FROM: Kuiyun Huang at CYCU Y. Urata, K.Y. Huang on behalf of a larger collaboration We processed pre-imaging data for the field of the possible short GRB 230205A (Ambrosi et al., GCN Circ. 33271; Sakamoto et al., GCN Circ. 33280) obtained by SUBRU Hyper-Suprime-Cam with i-band filter on June 6, 2019. No clear source is identified within the enhanced XRT position (Goad et al., GCN Circ. 33275). The host galaxy candidate suggested by Tomasella et al. (GCN Circ. 33302) is clearly detected. In addition to this source, there is a source with i = 22.1 +/- 0.1 at the NW edge of the XRT error circle at RA = 13:28:16.92 Dec = +46:43:32.73.
