(University of New Mexico), Mark Wieringa (Australia Telescope National
Facility) and Ralph Martin (Perth Observatory) report:
We observed the BAT refined position of the GRB 080520 (GCN 7761) at 4.8
GHz with the Australia Telescope Compact Array (ATCA) on June 01, 2008
between 08:41:15 UT and 09:45:25 UT.
We did not detect a radio source at the BAT position of the GRB 080520
(GCN 7761). The radio flux density at the GRB position is 0.297 +/-
0.217 mJy at 4.8 GHz (1-sigma).
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.
