We observed the field of GRB 161113A (D'Avanzo, et al., GCN 20172) 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 2016/11 14.48 to 2016/11 14.52 UTC (17.94 to
19.01 hours after the BAT trigger), obtaining a total of 0.71 hours
exposure in the r and i bands and 0.14 hours exposure in the Z, Y, and H
bands.
For a source within the Swift-XRT error circle, in comparison with the
USNO-B1 and 2MASS catalogs, we obtain the following upper limits (3-sigma):
r > 22.41
i > 22.18
Z > 21.21
Y > 20.72
H > 18.83
These magnitudes are in the AB system and are not corrected for Galactic
extinction in the direction of the GRB.
