collaboration:
"We observed GRB 240809A (Evans et al., GCN 37110) with the Allen Telescope
Array (ATA) beginning on 2024 August 09 23:25 UTC (14.9 h after the burst)
at 5GHz and 8GHz. In our preliminary analysis, we do not detect any radio
emission at or near the X-ray and optical position (Evans et al., GCN
37110) or radio position (Christy et al., GCN 37158) to a 3-sigma limit of
~0.9mJy at 5GHz and ~2.0mJy at 8GHz.
We thank the ATA staff for quickly scheduling these observations"
