We observed the field of the Fermi LAT GRB 160625B (Dirirsa, et al., GCN
19580)
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 2016/06 26.30 to 2016/06 26.32 UTC (8.53
to 9.02 hours after the LAT trigger), obtaining a total of 0.36 hours
exposure in the r and i bands and 0.15 hours exposure in the Z, Y, J
and H bands.
We detect a bright, fading and uncatalogued source at the edge of the
Swift-XRT
error circle (Melandri, et al., GCN 19585), at a position RA, Dec =
20:34:23.50,
+6:55:8.1 (J2000, +/-0.5"). In comparison with the USNO-B1 and 2MASS
catalogs,
we obtain the following values:
r = 18.28 +/- 0.01
i = 18.08 +/- 0.01
Z = 17.95 +/- 0.01
Y = 17.78 +/- 0.01
J = 17.77 +/- 0.02
H = 17.65 +/- 0.02
These magnitudes are in the AB system and are not corrected for Galactic
extinction in the direction of the GRB.
Further observations are on-going.
