We observed the field of GRB 130327A (Ukwatta, et al., GCN 14331
Not found
 
 
) 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 2013/03 27.12 to 2013/03
27.17 UTC (1.16 to 2.17 hours after the BAT trigger), obtaining a
total of 0.82 hours exposures in the r' and i' bands and 0.35 hours of
exposure in the Z, Y, J, and H bands.

We detect one uncatalogued source within the XRT error region (GCN
14331
Not found
 
 
), at a position RA , DEC: = 92.03875,  55.71504 (+/-0.5 ",
J2000).  This is 2.7" from the center of the XRT error circle.  In
comparison with USNO-B1 and 2MASS, we derive the following detections
and upper limit (3-sigma) in the AB magnitude system:

r'    21.22 +/- 0.10
i'    21.17 +/- 0.09
Z    20.09 +/- 0.14
Y    19.98 +/- 0.17
J    19.98 +/- 0.23
H     > 20.08

We also detect a second uncatalogued source just outside the XRT error
circle (3.9" from the center) at RA , DEC: 92.03822,  55.71326 (+/-0.5
", J2000):

r'    21.61 +/- 0.14
i'    20.36 +/- 0.05
Z    19.15 +/- 0.06
Y    18.72 +/- 0.06
J    18.70 +/- 0.07
H    18.53 +/- 0.09

We note that this second source has a brightness consistent with the
earlier PAIRITEL measurement (Morgan; GCN 14333
Not found
 
 
).
