We observed the Fermi GBM/LAT GRB 200219C (The Fermi GBM Team,
GCN 27145; Dirirsa et al., GCN 27151; Hamburg et al., GCN 27155) at 6 GHz
with the Karl G. Jansky Very Large Array (VLA) on 2020 Feb 25 11:23:02 UTC
(5.48 days post GBM trigger). We report a preliminary flux density of ~658 uJy
at position:
RA (J2000): 17:30:02.295 +/- 0.011
Dec (J2000): +10:32:22.237 +/- 0.011
This is consistent with the position of the potential host galaxy (Xu
et al., GCN
27161), optical afterglow (Reva et al., GCN 27162; Blazek et al., GCN 27166),
and X-ray afterglow (Burrows et al., GCN 27157).
We thank the VLA staff for their assistance in completing these observations.
