GRB 051111a: IR photometry

From
Josh Bloom at UC Berkeley <jbloom@astron.berkeley.edu>
J. S. Bloom, on behalf of a larger collaboration, reports:

"As the poor transmission conditions (i.e. clouds) at Mt. Hopkins  
improved, we managed to obtain a total imaging exposure of 188  
seconds on the field of GRB 051111a (GCN 4248) before hitting a  
telescope limit. In simultaneous observations with PAIRITEL (*) we  
measure magnitudes of the Rujopakarn transient (GCN 4247) of:

            J = 16.55 � 0.03, H = 15.85 � 0.04 and Ks = 15.29 �  0.06

from 2005-11-11 07:23:29 to 2005-11-11 07:28:26 UTC. A color
