Scientific paper

Deep optical (UBVI) searches (to V~24) of the smallest GRB localizations available from the Third Interplanetary Network and two possibly associated optical transients (OT) have been carried out at the USNOFS 1.0-m and CTIO 1.5-m telescopes. For the high-latitude (b=-26°) OT localization, we find a blue source with broad-band colors consistent with a QSO/AGN, which is consistent with our earlier work that found a QSO likely associated with OT050510. For the low-latitude OT (b=-1°), we find a red star of about spectral class M. We are unable to provide evidence about whether these historical OT events are related to the nearby but much later GRB events.
