D. Malesani (DARK/NBI), P.E. Nissen (Univ. Aarhus), W.J. Schuster
(UNAM), and J.P.U. Fynbo (DARK/NBI), report on behalf of a larger
collaboration:
We observed the afterglow of GRB 080514B (Rapisarda et al., GCN 7715;
Giuliani et al., GCN 7716; de Ugarte Postigo et al., GCN 7719) with the
NOT equipped with ALFOSC. Observations were carried out with the B, R
and I filters.
We clearly detect the afterglow in all bands. On mean time May 16.184 UT
(1.77 days after the trigger), we measure R = 22.52 +- 0.10 (AB),
calibrated against SDSS r magnitudes. The detection in B implies a
redshift limit z < 3.7.
