TITLE: GCN GRB OBSERVATION REPORT NUMBER: 1283 SUBJECT: GRB020305: NIR observations DATE: 02/03/21 14:36:13 GMT FROM: Ingunn Burud at Space Telescope Science Inst I. Burud, J. Rhoads, A. Fruchter, D. Griep We observed the location of the candidate OT of GRB020305 on 2002 March 13.43 and 14.39 in the K' filter with the NASA IRTF + NSFCam. A source is found at the location of the afterglow reported by Price et al. (GCN 1267) with estimated magnitudes K' = 19.7 and K'=19.8 on March 13.43 and March 14.39 respectively. The photometric uncertainty is estimated to be 0.2 mag. For the star U0750_07926230 located 7.5 arcsec South and 12.1 arcsec East of the OT we measure a magnitude K'= 13.53 +/- 0.04.
