on behalf of the REM/ROSS team:
We imaged the field of GRB 061019 (Guidorzi et al. GCN 5728, 5729)
with the robotic 60-cm REM telescope located at La Silla (Chile). A
first set of observations was performed automatically in the optical
and near infrared (V,R,I and z', J, H, K bands) starting on October
19 5:23 UT.
A preliminary analysis reveals an uncatalogued source of K ~ 14.5 at
RA,DEC = (06:06:30.85, +29:34:13.3).
At present we cannot say whether this source is fading or not.
Further observations are in progress.
