TITLE: GCN CIRCULAR NUMBER: 6075 SUBJECT: GRB 070208: MDM Observations DATE: 07/02/08 10:00:30 GMT FROM: Nestor Mirabal at Columbia U N. Mirabal and J. P. Halpern (Columbia U.) report on behalf of the MDM Observatory GRB follow-up team: "We have observed the Swift BAT localization of GRB 070208 (Sato et al., GCN 6074) with the MDM 1.3m telescope starting on February 8 09:25. Within the XRT error box, we detect two extended sources (also seen in the DSS plates), which should be considered potential host galaxies for this short burst. Observations are continuing to determine optical variability. This message may be cited."
