Mosaic showing all used imaging. The host of GRB 111117A is marked by a red circle with a 2″̣0 radius. This is the same size as the aperture used to derive the photometry. Each panel is 20″ in size, north is up, east is left. Worth noting is the relative depth of the GMOS-N and FORS2 z-band images. For reference, the object located to the southeast of the host and marked with a blue dashed circle has an extinction corrected magnitude of 23.11 ± 0.09 (23.10 ± 0.18) in the FORS2 (GMOS-N) z-band.
