TITLE: GCN CIRCULAR NUMBER: 21939 SUBJECT: LIGO/Virgo G298048: Further European VLBI Network (EVN) observations of SSS17a DATE: 17/09/28 10:35:27 GMT FROM: Zsolt Paragi at Euro VLBI Zsolt Paragi (JIVE), Jun Yang (OSO), Benito Marcote (JIVE) et al. for the Euro VLBI team Continuing our efforts (LVC GCN 20981, 21804) to detect radio emission from SSS17a (Coulter et al. LVC GCN 21529) on milliarcsecond scales, we observed the transient at 5 GHz with the European VLBI Network between 10:00���14:30 UT on 20 September 2017. The 5 sigma upper limit around the HST/Gaia position (Adams, Kasliwal & Blagorodnova, LVC GCN 21816) is 140 microJy/beam. Further observations are planned.
