TITLE: GCN CIRCULAR NUMBER: 7829 SUBJECT: GRB 080605: TLS RRM Afterglow DATE: 08/06/06 00:17:51 GMT FROM: Alexander Kann at TLS Tautenburg This is a multi-part message in MIME format. --bound1212711210 Content-Type: text/plain Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit D. A. Kann, U. Laux, S. Klose, S. Ertel (TLS Tautenburg) and J. Greiner (Garching) report: We observed the location of Swift GRB 080605 with the TLS Tautenburg 1.34m Schmidt telescope in RRM Mode (Klose et al., GCN 3609). At the in-flight XRT position, in a 120 sec Ic band frame, we detect a new source not present in the DSS at: RA (J2000) = 17:28:29.96 Dec. (J2000) = +04:00:57.5 The source is blended with a star to the southeast but clearly discernible. We propose this to be the afterglow of GRB 080605. Spectroscopy is encouraged. This message may be cited. --bound1212711210--
