TITLE: GCN GRB OBSERVATION REPORT NUMBER: 5323 SUBJECT: GRB 060714, SMARTS optical/IR afterglow observation DATE: 06/07/15 20:38:34 GMT FROM: Bethany Cobb at Yale U B. E. Cobb (Yale), part of the larger SMARTS consortium, reports: Using the ANDICAM instrument on the 1.3m telescope at CTIO, we obtained optical/IR imaging of the error region of GRB 060714 (GCN 5311, Krimm et al.) with a mid-exposure time of 2006-07-15 01:18 UT (~10.1 hours post-burst). Total summed exposure times amounted to 36 minutes in I and 30 minutes in J. The afterglow of GRB 060714 (GCN 5311, Krimm et al.) is well-detected in the I-band, but only marginally detected in J. The following preliminary photometry was calibrated using several USNO-B1.0 stars in the I-band and several 2MASS standards in J. The I-band error is dominated by the error in the photometric calibration, while the error in the J-band in dominated by the error in the afterglow measurement. time post-burst I magnitude J magnitude ------------------------------------------------------ 10.1 hrs 20.72 +/- 0.17 19.74 +/- 0.18
