GCN Circular 5408

Subject
GRB 060801: Second Epoch WSRT Radio Observations
Date
2006-08-07T09:57:36Z (18 years ago)
From
Alexander van der Horst at U of Amsterdam <avdhorst@science.uva.nl>
A.J. van der Horst (University of Amsterdam) reports on behalf of a larger
collaboration:

"We reobserved the position of the GRB 060801 afterglow at 4.9 GHz with
the Westerbork Synthesis Radio Telescope on Aug 6 from 10.77 to 22.75 UT,
i.e. 4.94 - 5.44 days after the burst (GCN 5378).
We do not detect a radio source within the XRT error circle (GCN 5382) or
the refined XRT/SDSS error circle (GCN 5389). The rms noise in het map
within the XRT error circle is 27 microJy per beam. The formal flux
measurement for a point source at the center of the XRT error circle is 51
+/- 27 microJy."
