Weidong Li, R. Chornock, S. Jha, and A. V. Filippenko (UCB) report:
"We have observed the localization of GRB021104 (HETE Trigger #2434)
with the Katzman Automatic Imaging Telescope (KAIT) for several
images (with exposure time 20s to 300s unfiltered) starting at
3 Nov 2002 09:47 UT, about 167 minutes after the trigger. Inspection
of the images reveals a new object that is not present in DSS II red
image of the region. The coordinates of the object are:
RA 03:53:47.89 +37:54:28.2 (J2000)
The magnitude of the object is about 19.9. We suggest that this object
is the possible afterglow of GRB020813."
