Source 2 has been manually confirmed as the GRB afterglow; data for this object are now available through the main GRB results area for this GRB.

About tiled field analysis.

So far 3 fields have been scheduled for observations. Data are available and processed for 4 of these. The list gives the exposure time used in source detection. If any individual sources were selected for follow-up observations, the source detection is not repeated for the follow up observations and the table below is not updated.

An additional 1 field has also been used for follow up observations. These data are not searched for sources, but are used to update the light curves etc of any sources already found.

Probable afterglow details
