We observed the field of the Fermi/LAT GRB 141028A (Bissaldi et al., GCN
16969, Roberts et al.
GCN 16971) with the Reionization and Transients Infrared Camera (RATIR;
www.ratir.org <http://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 29.08 to 2014/10 29.13 UTC (from 13.62 to 14.82
hours after the
Fermi-GBM trigger), obtaining a total of 1.07 hours exposure in the r,
i and z bands.
At the position of the XRT and optical counterparts (Kennea et al., GCN
16978, Gorbovskoy
et al. GCN 16972, Graham et al. GCN 16977), in comparison with the SDSS
DR9, we
obtain the following detections:
r 20.09 +/- 0.02
i 19.85 +/- 0.02
z 19.50 +/- 0.10
These magnitudes are in the AB system and are not corrected for Galactic
extinction in the direction of the GRB.
