  "body": "D. A. Perley (LJMU), G. Schroeder (Cornell), and T. Laskar (Utah) report on behalf of a larger collaboration:\n\nThe Karl G. Jansky Very Large Array observed the location of the afterglow (Hinds et al., TNS AstroNote 2026-65; Konno et al., GCN 43974) associated with GRB 260310A (Fermi GBM Team, GCN 43951; Hamburg & Meegan, GCN 43975) using all available receivers from S-band to Q-band, providing nearly continuous spectral coverage from 2 to 50 GHz.   Observations were carried out on UT 2026-03-27 between 07:45 and 11:06 UT, approximately 17.2 days after the GRB.\n\nConsistent with previous reports (Rhodes et al., GCN 44005; Giarratana et al., GCN 44045; Ho et al., GCN 44057; Ho et al., GCN 44134) we detect very strong radio emission from the afterglow.  Preliminary flux densities are:\n\n| freq(GHz) |  flux(mJy)     |\n|-----------|----------------|\n| 3         |  2.90 +/- 0.04 |\n| 6         |  7.52 +/- 0.05 |\n| 10        | 11.11 +/- 0.11 |\n| 15        | 11.73 +/- 0.16 |\n| 33        |  9.58 +/- 0.39 |\n| 45        |  7.98 +/- 0.27 |\n\nThis indicates that the afterglow has brightened at low frequencies since the observations of Giarratana et al. and Rhodes et al. at ~4 days post-GRB, and that the peak of the f_nu spectral energy distribution during our observations was at approximately 15 GHz.\n\nWe thank the NRAO for rapidly approving our DDT request for a public multifrequency campaign on this exceptional GRB, and Heidi Medlin for assistance with checking the SBs.   \n\nFurther observations are planned.\n",
