We again observed the field of GRB 141004A (D'Elia, et al., GCN 16878)
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 2014/10 26.26 to
2014/10 26.52 UTC (21.27 to 21.55 days after the BAT trigger),
obtaining a total of 4.98 hours exposure in the r, i and z bands.
We continue to detect the source reported in previous epochs of RATIR
observations (Littlejohns, et al., GCN 16937, Littlejohns, et al., GCN
16887), with the following detections and upper limit:
r 23.94 +/- 0.20
i 23.38 +/- 0.15
z > 20.97
These magnitudes are in the AB system and are not corrected for Galactic
extinction in the direction of the GRB. These magnitudes are broadly
consistent with our previous epoch of observations (Littlejohns, et al.,
GCN 16937). Further observations are planned.
We thank the staff of the Observatorio Astron��mico Nacional in San Pedro
M��rtir.
