Report:
"Several images of the HETE-II error box for the GRB 030913 (Suzuki et al., GCNC 2383) were obtained right after the sunset
as the automatic response to the GRB alert by the BOOTES-2 instruments in Southern Spain. Images were acquired by both the
wide-field CCD (30 x 30 deg FOV) and the narrow-field CCD attached to the 0.3-m telescope (30' FOV) starting on Sep 13.797 UT (2-h after the event). Limiting magnitudes of the co-added images for
the following 10-min are 12 (I-band) and 17.5 (unfiltered) covering 100% and 70% of the refined HETE-II error box (Donaghy et al. GCNC
2388) respectively. None of them reveals any new (or strongly variable source), in agreement with the results obtained by Torii (GCNC 2381),
Lipunov et al. (GCNC 2385) and Klotz et al. (GCNC 2386). This is the first event followed up at the BOOTES-2 station. Images are
posted at http://www.laeff.inta.es/BOOTES/ing/results/grb030913.htm."
This message is quotable.
