Mundell (University of Bath), and P. Schady (University of Bath) report on
behalf of a larger collaboration:
We observed GRB 210610B (Page et al. GCN 30170) at a mean frequency of 14.7
GHz with the Karl G. Jansky Very Large Array (VLA; Program 21A-241)
beginning 2021 June 11.22 UT (9.4 hours after the burst). We detect a radio
source with a preliminary flux density of ~0.25 mJy at:
RA (J2000) = 16:15:40.381
Dec (J2000) = +14:23:56.59
with an uncertainty of 0.07 arcsec in each coordinate. This position is
fully consistent with the optical afterglow (Page et al. GCN 30170; Kumar
et al. GCN 30174) and the refined Swift/XRT afterglow position (Osborne et
al. GCN 30189). Additional follow-up observations are planned.
We thank the VLA staff for rapidly approving and executing these
observations.
