GRB980519 I-band observations
F. J. Castander, R. Evans, D. E. Reichart, D. Q. Lamb
and W. Wild, University of Chicago, report:
"We made I-band observations of the BeppoSAX WFC error
circle for GRB980519 (GCN #75) on May 21.34 - 21.36 UT and
May 22.27 - 22.38 UT, using the 41-inch telescope at Yerkes
Observatory. On May 21.35, we detected the optical transient
reported by Jaunsen et al. (GCN #78) at about I = 21.9 mag,
near the limiting magnitude of the image. On May 22.33, we did
not detect the optical transient down to an image limiting
magnituide of I = 21.0 mag. These magnitudes are tied to
the Bloom et al. (GCN #87) calibration standards.
