TITLE: GCN GRB OBSERVATION REPORT NUMBER: 2396 SUBJECT: GRB030913: Subaru Optical Observations DATE: 03/09/23 02:01:38 GMT FROM: George Kosugi at Subaru Telescope G. Kosugi, H. Furusawa, Y. Komiyama, K. Sekiguchi, M. Iye, and N. Kawai on behalf of the Subaru GRB team report: We have observed the afterglow candidate of GRB 030913 (=H2849: GCN 2383, 2388) with the Subaru 8.2m telescope atop Mauna Kea on 2003 September 22.4 UT (9 days after the burst). A 600 sec V-band imaging observation was taken place with SuprimeCam (FOV: 24'x30') centered at the OT candidate reported by Guziy et al (GCN 2391). A galaxy (V = 23.0 +/- 0.2) was detected at the position of the OT candidate. We also detected a point-like source (V = 25.2 +/- 0.3) at about 1.5 arcsec north from the galaxy.
