Yoldas, A. Yoldas (all MPE Garching) and G. Szokoly (Eoetvoes Univ., Budapest
and MPE Garching) report on behalf of the GROND team:
We observed the field of GRB 080613B (Swift trigger 313954; Markwardt et al.,
GCN #7873) simultaneously in g'r'i'z'JHK with GROND (Greiner et al. 2008,
PASP 120, 405) mounted at the 2.2m ESO/MPI telescope at La Silla Observatory
(Chile).
Observations started at 22:47 UT on June 13th, 2008, 11.6 hrs after the GRB
trigger.
We do not detect any object within the refined 3.6'' Swift-XRT error circle
reported by Mao et al. (GCN #7875) to the following 3-sigma upper limits:
g' > 24.4,
r' > 24.4,
i' > 23.5,
z' > 23.5 and
J > 22.4.
Given upper limits are calibrated against USNO-B1 as well as 2MASS field
stars.
