At 02:46:36 UT on 2023 December 28 (T_mid = 12.7 days post-burst)
and at 01:39:51 UT on 2024 January 17 (T_mid = 32.7 days
post-burst) the Karl G. Jansky VLA observed the field of
GRB 231215A (D'Avanzo et al., GCN 35343) at a central frequency
of 6 and 10 GHz.
The standard J0542+4951 was used as bandpass and flux density
calibrator, while J0102+5824 was used as phase calibrator.
From a preliminary analysis, the radio source coincident with
GRB 231215A (Rhodes et al., GCN 35397; Giarratana et al., GCN 35507)
is still detected. We derive the following surface brightness
peak estimates.
