K. P. Mooley, R. P. Fender (Oxford), A. Horesh (HUJI) report on behalf
of a larger collaboration
We observed the optical transient ATLAS17aeu (Tonry et al., LVC GCN
20382) located in the error region of LIGO/Virgo G268556 (LVC GCN 20364)
with the AMI Large Array on 2017 Jan 07.04 UT. At 15.5 GHz, the flux
density of the source is 336+/-20 uJy. We are currently monitoring this
source.
We thank the AMI staff for scheduling this observation. Since this
source is likely the afterglow of GRB 170105A (e.g. Kasliwal et al., LVC
GCN 20393; Chambers et al., LVC GCN 20407), we will be updating the
AMI-GRB database (http://4pisky.org/ami-grb/) with the measurements.
