J. Gorosabel (UPV/EHU-IAA/CSIC), J.C. Tello, R. S�nchez-Ram�rez, M.
Jelinek, A. J. Castro-Tirado (IAA-CSIC Granada), report on behalf of a
larger
collaboration:
"We have observed the field of the short duration GRB 130313A (Gompertz et
al., GCN 14293) using the 10.4m GTC in Sloan r,i and z filters with a
seeing of ~1.3", however at an airmass of ~1.4 and with cirruses across
the field. The combined exposure of 12x70 s images with a Sloan i filter
taken starting 02:54:47UT and ending 03:14:58UT (10.7 - 11.1 hours after
the burst) shows no afterglow candidate within the refined XRT uncertainty
circle (Osborne et al., GCN 14300) down to a magnitude of i > 23.5 when
compared to the SDSS Photometric Catalog, Release 6."
