TITLE: GCN CIRCULAR NUMBER: 17178 SUBJECT: GRB 141212A: VLA upper limit DATE: 14/12/13 09:52:03 GMT FROM: Wen-fai Fong at U of Arizona W. Fong (U. Arizona) and B. A. Zauderer (Harvard) report: "We observed the field of the short-duration GRB 141212A (Ukwatta et al., GCN 17158) with the Karl G. Jansky Very Large Array (VLA) beginning on 2014 Dec 12.96 UT (10.9 hr post-burst) at a mean frequency of 6 GHz. In 1 hour of observations, we do not detect any radio source within or around the enhanced XRT position (Osborne et al., GCN 17164). We therefore place a 3-sigma limit of ~25 microJy on the radio afterglow of GRB 141212A at 10.9 hr after the burst. We thank the VLA staff for quickly executing these observations."
