Abstract

Optical;Supernovae
We obtained H-Band LGS AO imaging of iPTF13bvn (ATels #5137 ,#5142 ,#5151) on 2013-07-19 UT using the OSIRIS Imager mounted on the Keck I Telescope. Comparing these images with archival Hubble Space Telescope (HST) ACS/WFC F435W, F555W, and F814W images from 2005-03-10 UT (HST proposal 10187, PI: Smartt), we find that the SN position is coincident with star 3 from our previous report (ATel #5140; see http://goo.gl/0V69m).
