We obtained additional near-IR magnitudes (J, H, K) of the SN2006jc (cf.
IAUC # 8762 ; CBET #666, #671, #674 and #677; ATEL #916, #917 and #934)
with the AZT-24 1.1m telescope and the SWIRCAM camera at Campo Imperatore
Observatory (Italy).
The values, calibrated using 2MASS catalog, are reported in the following.
Photometric errors are of the order of 0.03 mag in each band.

The temporal evolution of measurements shows a near-infrared rebrightening
of this peculiar type Ib/c supernova at this phase. This behaviour is not
appreciable in the J band while it is quite evident in the H band and even
more in the K band, suggesting some kind of relation with dust.
