behalf of a larger collaboration:
We have observed the field of GRB 110715A (Sonbas et al. GCN 12158)
using LABOCA/APEX at Chajnantor (Chile) in the 870 micrometer band.
The weather conditions were good, with a precipitable water vapor
of 0.62mm. Observations began on July 16 at 23:21 UT (1.42 days after
the burst) and were performed using the photometric mode, centred at
the position of the optical counterpart (Kuin et al. GCN 12162,
Piranomonte et al. GCN 12164).
On a preliminary analysis of 88 minutes on source we detect a flux at
the position of the afterglow of 11.0+/-2.3 mJy.
Further observations are foreseen. We encourage follow-up in other
wavelengths.
