A.Pozanenko (IKI) on behalf of larger GRB follow up collaboration report:
We observed optical afterglow of GRB060512 (Cummings et al. GCN 5117;
Klotz et al. GCN 5140) in Nordic Optical Telescope with NOTcam in near IR
(J) on May 13 between (UT) 02.40 - 03:44. A brightness of the OT is
following:
J mag, Err,Exposure, T0+ (Mid time,s)
18.90 0.09 8x90s 12838
18.96 0.09 8x90s 13849
19.09 0.10 8x90s 14843
19.14 0.11 8x90s 15835
The calibration is based on 2MASS star RA = 13:02:57.846 DEC =
+41:10:23.08, J = 14.485 +/-0.03 and consistent with calibration based on IR
standard star observation in the same night. A power law decay index alpha
~ 1.1 in J between (UT) 02.40 - 03:44 (May ,13) is compatible with the
index deduced from Ks observations (Hearty et al. GCN 5126, Tanaka et al.
GCN 5129).
