Scientific paper

We present optical and near IR follow up observations of the dark GRB 001109, 1-300 days after the event. No transient emission has been found for these wavelengths within this GRB's (Gamma Ray Burst) BeppoSAX 1' radius error box. Strong limits are set with K' > 20. A highly reddened galaxy, with variable radio emission, was found at z = 0.398. It is undergoing star formation, but seems to be unrelated to the event. We discuss the implications of these observations in the context of the dark GRB class.
