We continue to observe the field of GRB 130215A (D'Elia et al.; GCN 14204)
with the Reionization and Transients Infrared Camera (RATIR; www.ratir.org)
on the 1.5m Harold Johnson Telescope at the Observatorio Astron�mico
Nacional on Sierra San Pedro M�rtir. From 2013/02 18.13 to 2013/02
18.21UTC (73.5 to 75.5 hours after the BAT trigger), we obtained a
total of 1.40
hours exposure in the r' and i' bands and 0.53 hours of exposure in the Z,
Y, J, and H bands.
In comparison with USNO-B1 and 2MASS, we derive the following AB
magnitudes, not corrected for Galactic extinction in the direction of the
GRB, for the afterglow:
r' 21.92 +/- 0.09
i' 20.92 +/- 0.07
Z 20.21 +/- 0.12
Y 20.38 +/- 0.15
J 20.37 +/- 0.13
H 19.59 +/- 0.11
