Poonam Chandra (NCRA-TIFR) and A. J. Nayana (NCRA-TIFR) report on
behalf of a
larger collaboration:
We reobserved GRB 160131A (GCN Circ. 18951) with the Giant Metrewave Radio
Telescope (GMRT) at 1420 MHz band on 2016 Feb 10.78 UT. While we do not
detect
the GRB radio afterglow, we place very constraining 3-sigma upper limit
on the
GRB flux in the Swift error cicle (GCN Circ. 18970) to be 105 uJy.
The GMRT data for GRB 160131A is public for anyone to use.
Further observations are planned. We thank GMRT staff for making these
observations possible.
