Hiroshi Akitaya, Yuki Moritani, Takahiro Ui, Yuka Kanda, and Michitoshi
Yoshida (Hiroshima Univ.) on behalf of the OISTER collaboration:
We observed the field of GRB140423A (Sonbas et al., GCNC 16142) with
the optical and near-infrared simultaneous imager HONIR (Sakimoto et
al. 2012, Proc.SPIE 8446, 844673) attached to the 1.5-m Kanata
Telescope at Higashi-hiroshima Observatory, Japan.
We detected the afterglow at R_C and J bands at 2014-04-23 10:46 UT
(~2.2 hours after the burst). Photometric results are as follows.
