on behalf of a larger collaboration:

We imaged the field of GRB 140516A (Bernardini et al. GCNC 16285) with the
2.5m Nordic Optical telescope equipped with ALFOSC. The observations were
carried out in the R-band on May 16.89163-16.97005 UT (0.88-2.77 hours post
burst) with a total exposure time of 13x300s. We did not detect any objects
brighter than R=24.5 (3 sigma Vega limit calibrated against USNO B1.0)
consistent with the enhanced XRT position (Osborne et al. GCNC 16289).
