We observed SSS17a (Coulter et al. LVC GCN 21529) at 5 GHz with
the European VLBI Network between 12:15���16:15 UT on 26 August 2017.
Preliminary analysis shows no compact radio emission detectable on
milliarcsecond angular scales above 160 microJy (~5 sigma) in a
1.6 x 1.6 arcsec region. Further observations are planned.
The EVN is a joint facility of independent European, African, Asian,
and North American radio astronomy institutes. Scientific results
from data presented in this publication are derived from the following
EVN project code: RP029.
