TITLE: GCN CIRCULAR NUMBER: 9532 SUBJECT: GRB 090618 15GHz radio detection DATE: 09/06/19 09:50:32 GMT FROM: Guy Pooley at MRAO, Cambridge, UK Guy Pooley (Cavendish Astrophysics, U. Cambridge) reports on behalf of the AMI collaboration: The AMI Large Array (the rebuilt Ryle Telescope) was used to observe the field of GRB 090618 (Schady et al, GCN9512) on 2009 June 19 from 02h45m to 05h45m UT (18.25 to 21.25h after the burst) using the position from Cenko et al (GCN9213). The observing band was 14.6 to 17.5 GHz and the rms noise 85 microJy. The angular resolution is approx. 50" x 20". We make a clear detection of a source at the position of the GRB with a flux density 550 microJy. A split of the data suggests that the flux density increased from 425 to 640 microJy between the first and second halves of the observation, but this is barely statistically significant. There is no radio source visible at that position in the NVSS (1.4GHz). This report may be quoted in publications.
