C. Guidorzi, A. Gomboc, C.G. Mundell, A. Monfardini, I. A. Steele, C.J. Mottram, R.J. Smith, M.F. Bode (Liverpool JMU), P. O'Brien, E. Rol, N. Bannister (Leicester) report:
"The 2-m Faulkes Telescope North (Hawaii) robotically followed up GRB060114 (INTEGRAL trigger 2733) 1.9 min after the GRB trigger time. The automatic "detection mode" procedure did not find any afterglow candidate brighter than R~19 mag (vs USNOB1) from a 6x10s exposure. The visual extinction of the field is negligible (A_V~0.1) according to the Schlegel et al. maps.
Further automated observations were conducted immediately following the "detection mode" exposures in R and SDSS-I filters. Manual inspection of subsequent datasets reveals no afterglow candidate down to the DSS limit."
GCN Circular #4505
S. Mereghetti (IASF, Milano), D.Gotz (CEA, Saclay), S.Shaw, P.Haymoz, M. Beck (ISDC, Versoix), and J. Borkowski (CAMK, Torun) on behalf of the IBAS Localization Team report:
A GRB lasting about 100 s and with a FRED profile has been detected by IBAS in IBIS/ISGRI data at 12:39:44 on January 14 2006.
The coordinates (J2000) derived by the automatic IBAS analysis are:
```
RA = 195.280
Dec=  -4.721
```
with an uncertainty of about 3 arcmin. An offline analysis to refine the position is ongoing.
The GRB preliminary peak flux (20-200 keV, 1s integration time) is about 0.3 ph/cmq/s and the fluence (20-200 keV, 100 s integration time) is about 1.3e-6 erg/cmq

E.Sonoda,S.Maeno,S.Masuda,Y.Nakamura,M.Yamauchi (University of Miyazaki)
"We have observed the field covering the error circle of GRB060114 (GCN 4505) with the unfiltered CCD camera on the 30-cm telescope at University of Miyazaki. The observation was started 16:05:57 UT on Jan.10. After co-adding a set of 33 images (16:05:57 - 16:54:00 UT) of 30 sec exposures, we have compared with the USNO A2.0 catalog. Preliminary analysis shows there is no new source brighter than 16.2 mag."
GCN Circular #4508
M. Perri (ASDC), G. Tagliaferri (OAB) and D.N. Burrows (PSU) report on behalf of the Swift/XRT team:
The Swift observatory executed a Target of Opportunity observation of the INTEGRAL discovered GRB 060114 (Mereghetti et al., GCN 4505). The XRT began taking data at 19:51:49 UT, approximately 7.2 hours after the trigger. In an XRT exposure of ~2 ks we did not find an X-ray counterpart at the INTEGRAL position reported in Shaw et al. (GCN 4506).
We estimate a three sigma upper limit of 8.6e-3 cts/s corresponding to a 0.3-10 keV flux of about 5e-13 erg/cm2/s.
No further Swift observations are planned.

GRB 060114: Swift/UVOT Observations
S. T. Holland (GSFC/USRA), P. Tagliaferri (OAB/ASDC), L. Angelini (GSFC/JHU) P. Meszaros (PSU), and N. Gehrels (GSFC) on behalf of the Swift/UVOT team report:
The Swift/UVOT began observing the field of GRB 060114 (Mereghetti, et al., GCN Circular 4505) at 19:51:51 UT on 2006-01-14, 7.2019 hr after the INTEGRAL trigger. No new source is detected in the INTEGRAL error circle (Shaw, et al., GCN Circular 4506) in any of the UVOT exposures down to the following 5-sigma upper limits. These values are not corrected for Galactic extinction.

On Jan 15, 2005 the field of GRB 060114 (Mereghetti et al. GCN 4505) was observed with the REM telescope located in La Silla (Chile).
The field was imaged with the ROSS optical spectrograph/imager and with the REMIR near infrared camera in the R and K filters, respectively, starting at 6:10 UT (approximately 18 hours after the burst) for a total integration time of 1200 and 500 s, respectively.
No sources are detected within the IBAS INTEGRAL error circle down to limiting magnitudes R = 18.1 and K = 15.0 (3-sigma upper limits).
