TITLE: GCN CIRCULAR NUMBER: 11356 SUBJECT: GRB 101017A: miniTAO/ANIR NIR upper limits DATE: 10/10/19 05:34:13 GMT FROM: Takeo Minezaki at U.of Tokyo/Astro K. Motohara, T. Tanabe, S. Koshida, T. Morokuma, T. Minezaki, and Y. Yoshii (University of Tokyo) report on behalf of the TAO project team: We observed GRB 101017A (Siegel et al., GCN 11345) with the near-infrared camera ANIR mounted on the miniTAO 1.0m telescope at the University of Tokyo Atacama Observatory on the summit of Co. Chajnantor (5640 m altitude) in the northern Chile. The J- and Ks-band observations started from 2010-10-18 00:37 UT (14hours after the burst), and total exposure time was 300sec for each band. No object was detected within the enhanced XRT error circle (Goad et al., GCNC 11348). Three sigma upper limits are listed below, where the flux calibrations were carried out using 2MASS stars within the FoV. Band Mid-UT AB-Mag ---------------------------- Ks 00:40:25 >19.3 J 00:46:51 >19.9 ----------------------------
