TITLE: GCN CIRCULAR NUMBER: 6695 SUBJECT: GRB 070802: LCO I-band candidate DATE: 07/08/02 08:52:13 GMT FROM: Edo Berger at Carnegie Obs E. Berger and D. Murphy (Carnegie) report: "We also obtained a 360 sec I-band image of the position of GRB 070802 (GCN 6692) starting on 2007 August 2, 08:02:19 UT. Within the XRT error circle we detect a faint source with I~21.5 mag located at: RA = 02:27:35.88 DEC = -55:31:39.3 with an uncertainty of about 0.5" in each coordinate. If this is the afterglow of GRB 070802 the earlier non-detection in R-band may indicate a redshift z~4.5-6, or a highly reddened GRB at a lower redshift."
