TITLE: GCN CIRCULAR NUMBER: 16282 SUBJECT: GRB 140515A : TNG near-infrared observations DATE: 14/05/16 15:51:49 GMT FROM: Andrea Melandri at INAF-OAB A. Melandri, P. D'Avanzo (INAF/OAB), A. Fiorenzano and G. Mainella (INAF/TNG) report on behalf of the CIBO collaboration:. We observed the field of GRB 140515A (D'Avanzo et al., GCN 16267) using the NICS near-Infrared camera on the 3.6m TNG Telescope (La Palma, Canary Islands). We obtained a series of imaging observations in the J and H bands for a total exposure time of 30 and 60 minutes respectively. The GRB afterglow is clearly detected in both bands at a level of Dt Exposure Filter Mag (err) [hr from GRB] [min] 14.54 60 H 19.35 (0.12) 15.60 30 J 19.52 (0.18) Magnitudes are in the Vega system, calibrated against the 2MASS catalogue. We thank the TNG staff for the support.
