  "body": "GRB 041219: Infrared Afterglow Candidate\n\nC. Blake (CfA) and J. S. Bloom (CfA/UCB) report on behalf of a larger\ngroup:\n\n\"PAIRITEL continued to image the field of GRB 041219 (GCN #2866) starting\nfrom 19 Dec 2004 01h49m18 UT, about 2.8 minutes after the GRB (see GCN\n#2865). That first epoch of imaging had a total integration time of 533\nsec. A second epoch of image began at 02h46m59 UT (502 sec total\nintegration). A comparison with the 2MASS Quicklook and Atlas K-band\nimages reveals a new point source at RA 00h24m27.6s, DEC +62d50m32.9s\n(J2000).  By comparison to nearby 2MASS stars we estimate a magnitude of\nK~15.5 in the first epoch. The object is also detected in J-band near the\ndetection limit (ie. it appears to be heavily reddened) and appears to\nhave faded between the two epochs.  Observations have ceased due to high\nwinds.\"\n\nA finding chart will be posted shortly at:\n   http://pairitel.org/grb041219.gif\n\nThis message may be cited.",
