Abstract

Optical studies were made of two well-located gamma-ray burst regions in the Southern Hemisphere using the 1.5 m telescope at the Cerro Tololo Inter-American Observatory in Chile. Multi-filter image tube plates and UBV photometry surveys were made of both regions. The field of the 19 November, 1978 gamma-ray burst shows no early star or star with unusual colors out to several diameters of the nominal error box. The region of the 5 March, 1979 gamma-ray burst, which includes N49, contains several blue giants in the LMC, two of which deserve further study.
