TITLE: GCN CIRCULAR NUMBER: 6371 SUBJECT: GRB 070429A: optical observations DATE: 07/05/01 00:17:48 GMT FROM: Paul Price at IfA,UH P.A. Price (IfA, Hawaii) reports on behalf of a larger collaboration: We observed the XRT position of GRB 070429A (GCN ##6355,6363) with the Gemini North telescope + GMOS, commencing at 2007 Apr 29.58 UT (12.3 hours after the GRB). Observations consisted of 2x180 sec integrations in Sloan i' and 4x180 sec in Sloan z'. The source identified by de Ugarte Postigo et al. (GCN #6361) is well detected in these observations, though no statement as to its variability can yet be made. In addition, there is a fainter source within the XRT error circle, at coordinates: 19:50:48.77 -32:24:17.8 J2000 NIR imaging of this GRB has also been made, and will be reduced as practical. No further observations are planned. We thank the Gemini North staff for helpful support of these quick response observations.
