Tao An, Yuanqi Liu (SHAO), Jinjun Geng (PMO), and Xuefeng Wu (PMO) report on behalf of the Einstein Probe radio follow-up team:
Following the detection of GRB 241209A by Fermi and Swift (Hamburg et al. 2024, GCN 38502; Evans et al. 2024, GCN 38523), we conducted radio follow-up observations using the Australia Telescope Compact Array (ATCA). We observed the VLT position [RA(J2000) = 10:21:35.14, Dec(J2000) = +06:19:44.5] during UTC 16:00:00-22:00:00 on December 14, 2024. No significant emission was detected at either 5.5 GHz or 9 GHz, yielding 3σ upper limits of 51 microJy and 36 microJy, respectively.
We thank the ATCA team for their rapid scheduling and support.
