(Bath) report:
"We observed GRB 221009A (Dichiara et al. GCN 32632) with the Karl G.
Jansky Very Large Array (VLA) beginning on 2022 October 12 23:08 UTC at
multiple frequencies (3.5 d after the burst). In preliminary analysis, we
detect the radio counterpart (Trushkin et al., ATEL 15671; Bright et al.,
GCN 32653; Farah et al., GCN 32655; Rhodes et al., GCN 32700; Leung et al.,
GCN 32836; Laskar et al., GCN 32740) with a flux density of ~ 9.2 mJy at 11
GHz, and position:
RA (J2000) = 19:13:03.50
Dec (J2000) = 19:46:24.23
with a (statistical) uncertainty of 0.01" in each coordinate. This position
is consistent with the optical position (Dichiara et al., GCN 32632;
Lipunov et al., GCN 32634) and the radio position (Laskar et al., GCN
32740). Further observations are planned.
We thank the VLA staff for scheduling and executing these observations"
