Rapid Search for a Near-Infrared Counterpart of GRB 960924We report the results of a rapid search for a near-infrared counterpart of the very strong gamma-ray burst 960924. The survey was performed in JHK-prime only 3.5 days after the burst. It was centered at the most probable burster position and covers about 1/3 of the BACODINE/IPN/Huntsville error box represented by the intersection of the 1-sigma, BATSE error circle and the 3-sigma, IPN annulus. Second epoch observations were carried out in the near-infrared about 100 days and 500 days after the burst. No Near Infrared (NIR) transient source was detected within the surveyed IPN annulus to magnitude limits J is approximately 17.5 and K is approximately 15-5.
