We observed the field of GRB 200227A (Laha et al., GCN Circ. 27234) 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 2020/02 28.17 to 2020/02 28.24
UTC (20.84 to 22.53 hours after the BAT trigger), obtaining a total of
0.69 hours exposure in the r and i bands.
For a source within the Swift-XRT enhanced error circle (Beardmore et
al., GCN Circ. 27243), in comparison with the SDSS DR9, we obtain the
following upper limits (3-sigma):
r > 19.73
i > 20.33
These magnitudes are in the AB system and are not corrected for Galactic
extinction in the direction of the GRB.
