TITLE: GCN GRB OBSERVATION REPORT NUMBER: 4501 SUBJECT: GRB 060108: further analysis of VLT images DATE: 06/01/13 19:27:49 GMT FROM: Daniele Malesani at SISSA-ISAS,Trieste,Italy P. D'Avanzo (INAF/OABr), D. Malesani (SISSA), G. Tagliaferri, S. Campana (INAF/OABr), S. Piranomonte (INAF/OAR), G. Chincarini (Univ. Milano-Bicocca), and L. Stella (INAF/OAR), report on behalf of the MISTICI collaboration: After the revision of the coordinates suggested by Butler & Bloom (GCN 4500) of the X-ray afterglow of GRB 060108 (Oates et al., GCN 4443; Page, Oates & Burrows, GCN 4444; Sakamoto et al., GCN 4445), we looked again at our VLT near-infrared images (D'Avanzo et al., GCN 4452; Piranomonte et al., GCN 4484). The object reported by Butler & Bloom (GCN 4500) is clearly detected in our deep K-band image, taken on Jan 11.28 UT, and is likely extended. However, it is not seen in the (shallower) J-band image taken on Jan 9.31 UT. The implied color is J-Ks > 1.8. This message can be cited.
