TITLE: GCN CIRCULAR NUMBER: 32094 SUBJECT: VLA observations of GW170817 at ~4.8 years after the merger DATE: 22/05/23 10:46:25 GMT FROM: Roberto Ricci at INAF-IRA R. Ricci (INRiM/INAF-IRA), B. O' Connor (GWU/UMD), E. Troja (UTV) on behalf of a larger collaboration We report on the Karl G. Jansky Very Large Array latest observations of GW170817 as part of our ongoing X-ray and radio monitoring. The observations were performed in S-band between May 2nd and May 11th 2022 in eight execution blocks for a total observing time of 16 hours. The data were calibrated, concatenated and imaged in CASA. A preliminary analysis of the cleaned map reveals no source at the target position. We derive a 3-sigma flux density upper limit of 6 microJy at 3 GHz, consistent with the behavior observed at X-ray energies (O'Connor et al., GCN 32065). Further joint Chandra/VLA observations are planned in 2023. We thank the VLA staff for executing these observations.
