TITLE: GCN CIRCULAR NUMBER: 12624 SUBJECT: GRB 111204A: TNG NIR observations DATE: 11/12/05 20:51:16 GMT FROM: Paolo D'Avanzo at INAF-OAB D. Fugazza, S. Covino, A. Melandri (INAF-OAB), V. D'Elia (INAF-OAR), P. D'Avanzo, S. Campana, G. Tagliaferri (INAF-OAB) and E. Palazzi (INAF-IASFBo) on behalf of a larger collaboration report: We observed the field of GRB 111204A (Sonbas et al. GCN 12612) with the 3.6m TNG equipped with the NICS near-infrared camera. A sequence of JHK band images were acquired starting on Dec 04.792 UT (i.e. ~5.4 hours after the burst event) lasting 15, 10 and 20 minutes, respectively. We do not detect any object inside the enhanced XRT position (Beardmore et al. GCN 12614) down to the following limiting magnitudes (3sigma c.l., calibrated against the 2MASS catalogue): J > 19.7 H > 18.8 Ks > 18.8 We thank the TNG staff for their support, in particular Luca di Fabrizio and Gianni Tessicini.
