GRB 000424B
Near-infrared observation of the error
box of GRB 000418
These K'-band images from April 22 are posted on the Tautenburg
Web page at http://www.tls-tautenburg.de/research/grb000418.html.
Figure 1: DSS2 red image of the error box of GRB 000418 and the area covered by the 3.5-m observations.
Figure 2: Part of the K'-band image of the error box of GRB 000418 (Fig. 1). Unfortunately, the image suffers from a bad focus. However, the fact that the indicated source is seen also on the frames taken with the 1.23-m telescope points out that this is not an artefact. A better image will be posted soon.
