(University of New Mexico), Mark Wieringa (Australia Telescope National
Facility) and Ralph Martin (Perth Observatory) report:
We observed the XRT position of the GRB080916c (GCN 8261) at 5.5 GHz
with the Australia Telescope Compact Array (ATCA) between 14:00:00 UT
and 20:00:00 UT on July 01, 2009.
We did not detect a radio source at the XRT position of the GRB080916c
(GCN 8261). The radio flux density at the afterglow position found out
to be 0.230 +/- 0.180 mJy/beam (1-sigma). The compact array was in its
most compact configuration.
The Australia Telescope Compact Array (/ Parkes telescope / Mopra
telescope / Long Baseline Array) is part of the Australia Telescope
which is funded by the Commonwealth of Australia for operation as a
National Facility managed by CSIRO.
