TITLE: GCN GRB OBSERVATION REPORT NUMBER: 5635 SUBJECT: GRB 060927: Possible host galaxy (star?) in the SDSS DATE: 06/09/27 16:15:49 GMT FROM: Alexander Kann at TLS Tautenburg D. A. Kann (TLS Tautenburg) reports: There is a faint object visible in the SDSS r' band image (Cool et al., GCN 5631) at position: RA = 21:58:11.95 (329.54981) Dec = +05:21:51.34 (5.36426) It has model magnitudes: u' = 24.114 +/- 0.976 g' = 24.414 +/- 0.497 r' = 22.915 +/- 0.216 i' = 23.009 +/- 0.345 z' = 21.672 +/- 0.426 This is very close to the afterglow location determined by Schaefer et al. (GCN 5629) and Guidorzi et al. (GCN 5633) and closer than the APM galaxy mentioned by Barbier et al. (GCN 5627). The object is listed a being a star in the SDSS object table, but it could also be a very compact host galaxy. If it is a star, special care must be taken when undertaking deep photometry.
