The Australia Telescope Compact Array (ATCA) performed rapid-response follow-up observations of the long GRB 230723B (Page et al. GCN 34234) at 5.5, 9, 16.7, and 21.2 GHz as part of the Large ATCA “PanRadio GRB” follow-up programme C3542 (PI. Anderson). ATCA was on target observing at 2023-07-23 11:51 UT, just 9 minutes post-burst and observed for 4 hrs. There is no radio source coincident with the enhanced XRT position (Page et al. GCN 34238) with 3 sigma upper limits of 150, 90, 90 and 150 microJy/beam at 5.5, 9.0, 16.7 and 21.2 GHz, respectively. Further observations are planned.
We thank the CSIRO Space and Astronomy staff for supporting these observations and maintaining the ATCA rapid-response observing mode.
We acknowledge the Gomeroi people as the traditional owners of the Observatory site. The Australia Telescope Compact Array is part of the Australia Telescope National Facility (https://ror.org/05qajvd42) which is funded by the Australian Government for operation as a National Facility managed by CSIRO.
