IR and Optical Observations of GRB 030115
  We present an upper limit on the brightness of the afterglow of the long GRB 030115 measured from Infrared (IR) images taken with the Magellan Classic Cam instrument of Ks > 22 at 6.2 days after the burst. We also present measurments of the host galaxy of GRB 030115 from archival optical and IR HST images taken with the Advanced Camera for Surveys and the Near Infrared Camera and Multi Object Spectrometer 25+ days after the burst. GRB 030115 is classified as an Optically Dark Burst, as its afterglow was found in the J, H, and K IR bands after a null result was reported in the optical. This is the first HETE GRB to have its afterglow found initially in the IR.
