Subject

From
Yiseul Jeon at SNU/CEOU <ysjeon@astro.snu.ac.kr>
Minsung Jang, Myungshin Im, Yiseul Jeon (CEOU/Seoul National Univ.), and
Yuji Urata (NCU) on behalf of a larger collaboration

We continued our observation (Jeon et al. GCN 12791) of GRB 111228A
(Ukwatta et al., GCN 12737) in R-band with a 1 m telescope at Mt. Lemmon,
Arizona, US. Data were taken at 2011-12-31 UT and 2012-01-01 UT. For both
of them, we detected the afterglow in stacked R-band images.

We used a USNO B1 star near the afterglow, USNO-B1 1083-0199833 with
R=17.28 following Klotz et al. (GCN 12746) for our photometry calibration,
and current, rough estimates are given below.
