A. A. Miller, J. S. Bloom, D. A. Perley (UC Berkeley), D. Starr (UCB,
LCOGT) report:
We observed the optical afterglow of GRB 080607 (Mangano et al., GCN
7847, Rujopakarn et al., GCN 7846) with the 1.3m Peters Automated Infrared
Imaging Telescope (PAIRITEL). Observations began at 06:08:44 Jun 07,
2008 UT. We detect the afterglow in a 612 sec mosaic of 7.8 sec
simultaneous exposures in the J, H, and Ks filters. Preliminary
photometry for the afterglow in exposures beginning on 06:10:32 Jun 07,
2008 UT yields J = 17.1 +- 0.1, H = 15.3 +- 0.1, and Ks = 13.7 +- 0.1,
calibrated to the 2MASS system.
