Scientific paper

Observation will be a second epoch ACIS-I image of the field of a HETE X-ray rich GRB (XRF011130). The first epoch ACIS-I 30 ksec observation took place on 10 December. It has been proposed that X-ray rich GRBs may be at redshifts Z > ~10. To date, no X-ray rich GRB counterpart has ever been identified. In the first epoch observation, ~20 candidates were established. Since the Chandra X-ray candidates were localized to <1 arcsec accuracy by Chandra, followup imaging by HST and spectroscopy by ~8 meter-class ground-based telescopes can immediately take place after the second epoch Chandra data is reduced.
