T. Laskar (University of Bath), E. Berger (Harvard), R. Chornock (Ohio
University), W. Fong (Northwestern), R. Margutti (Northwestern), C. G.
Mundell (University of Bath), and P. Schady (University of Bath) report on
behalf of a larger collaboration:
"We observed GRB 181201A (Mereghetti et al. GCN 23469) with the Karl G.
Jansky Very Large Array (VLA) beginning on 2018 December 04.02 UT (2.9 d
after the burst). At a mean frequency of 6.0 GHz, we detect a radio source
at the position
RA (J2000) = 21:17:11.185 +/- 0.001
Dec (J2000) = -12:37:51.37 +/- 0.03
consistent with the position of the optical afterglow (Podesta et al., GCN
23470; Lipunov et al., GCN 23476, GCN 23484; Siegel & Cannizzo, GCN 23499)
and the XRT afterglow (Page et al. GCN 23474). Follow-up observations are
planned.
We thank the VLA staff for rapidly executing these observations."
