TITLE: GCN CIRCULAR NUMBER: 18873 SUBJECT: LIGO/Virgo G211117: Preliminary VLA observation summary of PS15dpn DATE: 16/01/17 00:51:37 GMT FROM: Nipuni Palliyaguru at TTU A. Corsi (TTU) and N. Palliyaguru (TTU) report on behalf of a larger collaboration: We imaged again the position of the Pan-STARRS transient PS15dpn (Chambers et al. GCN 18811; also iPTF15fgl, Cenko et al. 18848), located in the error region of LIGO/Virgo G211117 (LVC et al., GCN 18728), with the Karl G. Jansky Very Large Array (VLA) in its DnC configuration. A provisional reduction of the images collected since the start of our follow-up (Palliyaguru et al. GCN 18846) shows a ~6 sigma excess at 6 GHz at a location consistent with PS15dpn. Our observations show no evidence for variability of this radio counterpart between 08 Jan 2016 and 14 Jan 2016 (UTC). We report below a summary of our observations and provisional results. Further observations are planned.
