We observed the field of GRB 191031D (Fermi GBM Team, GCN Circ. 26111; D'Elia et
al., GCN Circ. 26112) with the Reionization and Transients Infrared Camera
(RATIR; www.ratir.org) on the 1.5m Harold Johnson Telescope at the Observatorio
Astron��mico Nacional on Sierra San Pedro M��rtir from 2019/11 1.09 to 2019/11
1.12 UTC (4.65 to 5.49 hours after the BAT trigger), obtaining a total of 0.56
hours exposure in the r and i bands, 0.23 hours exposure in the Z and Y
bands, and 0.06 hours exposures in the J and H bands.
For a source within the Swift-XRT error circle, in comparison with the USNO-B1
and 2MASS catalogs, we obtain the following upper limits (3-sigma):
r > 22.94
i > 23.17
Z > 21.50
Y > 21.40
J > 19.44
H > 19.33
These magnitudes are in the AB system and are not corrected for Galactic
extinction in the direction of the GRB.
