(NASA/ORAU) report:
A VLA observation of SGR 0501+4516 (GCN 8113) on 2008 August 27 between 0846 UT
and 1215 UT did not detect a radio source at the position reported in GCN 8148
at any of the four observed frequencies. The five sigma upper-limits on the
radio emission during this period are:
1.4 GHz < 1 mJy (rms = 0.2 mJy)
4.8 GHz <0.15 mJy (rms = 30 uJy)
8.5 GHz < 0.2 mJy (rms = 40 uJy)
22 GHz < 1.5 mJy (rms = 0.3 mJy)
We would like to thank NRAO for promptly scheduling these VLA observations.
