TITLE: GCN CIRCULAR NUMBER: 10832 SUBJECT: Radio detection of GRB100418a with ATCA DATE: 10/06/07 14:41:27 GMT FROM: Aquib Moin at CIRA/ATNF Aquib Moin (Curtin Institute of Radio Astronomy / International Centre for Radio Astronomy Research / CSIRO Astronomy and Space Science) Steven Tingay (Curtin Institute of Radio Astronomy / International Centre for Radio Astronomy Research) Chris Phillips (CSIRO Astronomy and Space Science) Gregory Taylor (University of New Mexico) Mark Wieringa (CSIRO Astronomy and Space Science) Ralph Martin (Perth Observatory) report: We observed the field of Swift GRB100418a (GCN 10612, GCN 10614, GCN 10616) at 5.5 GHz and 9.0 GHz with the Australia Telescope Compact Array (ATCA) between 12:30:00 UT and 19:30:00 UT on May 26, 2010. We clearly detected the radio afterglow at the optical afterglow position of the GRB 100418a (GCN 10616) at both frequencies with flux densities 0.91 +/- 0.04 mJy and 1.46 +/- 0.07 mJy respectively. Further observations are planned. The Australia Telescope Compact Array (/ Parkes telescope / Mopra telescope / Long Baseline Array) is part of the Australia Telescope which is funded by the Commonwealth of Australia for operation as a National Facility managed by CSIRO.
