V. Vitali report on behalf of the REM team:
We observed the field of the GRB 070311 (Mereghetti et al. GCN 6189)
with the robotic 60-cm REM telescope located at La Silla (Chile). A
set of observations was performed automatically in the optical and
near infrared filters (V, R, I and J, H, K, z) starting on 2007 March
11 at 01:53:45 UT, 43 s after the Integral trigger and 51 s after the
GRB time.
Preliminary analysis of the whole dataset shows a possible transient
source at coordinate:
RA: 05:50:08.21
DEC: 03:22:30.3
The approximate magnitude about 3 minutes after the burst time was H
~ 14.3.
Further observations are in progress.
