R. Brivio, P. D'Avanzo (INAF-OAB), D. B. Malesani (DAWN/NBI & Radboud Univ.), L. Izzo (INAF-OACn), A. Melandri (INAF-OAR), M. Pedani (INAF-TNG) report on behalf of the CIBO collaboration:
We observed the field of GRB 260114A detected by Fermi/GBM (Fermi GBM team, GCN 43395), Swift/BAT (Eyles-Ferris et al., GCN 43396), GECAM-B (Ren et al., GCN 43402), and SVOM/GRM (Wang et al., GCN 43404) with the Italian 3.6m TNG telescope, located in the Canary Islands (Spain), equipped with the near-infrared camera NICS in imaging mode. A series of images were obtained with the H filter on 2026-01-14 at a mid-time of about 10.0 hours after the burst.
The optical counterpart reported by Li et al. (GCN 43398) and Volnova et al. (GCN 43401) is not detected within the Swift/XRT error circle. We obtain a 3-sigma limiting magnitude of H > 20.6 (Vega; calibrated against the 2MASS catalogue).
