A 2400 s R‐band Keck/ESI image of the neighborhood of the GRB 020819 radio afterglow, obtained approximately 15 days after the burst occurred. Left: The original 130﹩\arcsec﹩ radius error circle is indicated by the dashed line, while the refined one is shown with a continuous line. Right: A zoom‐in on the position of the radio afterglow, marked with a dashed circle with a radius of 0﹩\farcs﹩5. A bright barred spiral galaxy is located around 3﹩\arcsec﹩ from the afterglow, which is superposed on a faint light source. The image is shown with a logarithmic intensity scale to highlight the features of the nearby blob.
