Lauren Rhodes (McGill), Andrew Hughes, Rob Fender (Oxford), Dave Green, Dave Titterington (Cambridge) report:
We observed the position of GOTO26djh/AT2026jpw (GCN 44301) with the Arcminute Microkelvin Imager Large-Array (AMI-LA) at 15.5 GHz beginning for three epochs starting 2026-04-16 22:18UTC; 2026-04-17 21:14UTC and 2026-04-18 21:38UTC, each epoch lasting 5, 6.5, and 7 hours, respectively.
We detect an unresolved source, in each epoch with coordinates consistent with those of GOTO26djh/AT2026jpw. We measure a peak flux density of 0.28±0.07, 0.44±0.08, and 0.36±0.09mJy//beam in epochs 1, 2 and 3, respectively.
We thank the staff at the Mullard Radio Astronomy Observatory for carrying out these observations and operating the AMI-LA.
