We observed the field of GRB 141121A (Lien et al., GCN 17075) 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 2014/11 30.28 to 2014/11 30.54 UTC (218.99 to 225.08 hours
after the BAT trigger), obtaining a total of 4.98 hours exposure in the r, i and
z bands.
For a source within the Swift-XRT error circle, in comparison with the SDSS DR9,
we obtain the following detections and upper limits (3-sigma):
r = 22.32 +/- 0.07
i = 22.14 +/- 0.07
z > 21.00
These magnitudes are in the AB system and are not corrected for Galactic
extinction in the direction of the GRB.
