TITLE: GCN CIRCULAR NUMBER: 12858 SUBJECT: GRB 120118B: NOT observations DATE: 12/01/19 01:33:52 GMT FROM: Paul Vreeswijk at U of Iceland Paul Vreeswijk (U. Iceland), Tapio Pursimo (NOT) and Páll Jakobsson (U. Iceland), report on behalf of a larger collaboration: Using ALFOSC on the Nordic Optical Telescope (NOT) we have obtained Sloan r'- (3 x 600 s) and z'-band (6 x 300 s) imaging of the field of the Swift GRB 120118B (Littlejohns et al., GCN 12852), starting on 2012 January 18 at 22:48 UT, just under 6 hours after the burst. The observations were performed in non-optimal seeing conditions (~3.5"). We do not detect any object within the XRT error circle (Littlejohns et al., GCN 12854), down to approximate limiting magnitudes of r'>21.2 and z'>19.5 (calibrated against the SDSS catalog).
