GCN 32632) with the MeerKAT radio\ntelescope array beginning on 2022 October 10 19:10 UTC (1.3 d after the\nburst). Preliminary analysis reveals a radio counterpart with 1.284 GHz\nflux density of ~ 2.1 mJy at position:\n\nRA (J2000) = 19:13:03.47 +/- 0.04\"\nDec (J2000) = 19:46:25.08 +/- 0.06\"\n\nThis position is consistent with the optical position (Dichiara et al., GCN\n32632; Lipunov et al., GCN 32634). Further observations are planned.\n\nThe MeerKAT telescope is operated by the South African Radio Astronomy\nObservatory, which is a facility of the National Research Foundation, an\nagency of the Department of Science and Innovation.\"",
