TITLE: GCN CIRCULAR NUMBER: 15122 SUBJECT: GRB 130822A: 5.8 GHz VLA upper limit DATE: 13/08/24 00:46:26 GMT FROM: Wen-fai Fong at CFA W. Fong, B. A. Zauderer and E. Berger (Harvard) report: "We observed the field of the short-duration GRB 130822A (Kocevski et al., GCN 15112) with the Karl G. Jansky Very Large Array (VLA) beginning on 2013 Aug 23.33 UT (15.9 hr post-burst) at a mean frequency of 5.8 GHz. In 1 hour of observations, we do not detect any radio source within or around the XRT position (Beardmore et al., GCN 15117). We therefore place a 3-sigma limit of ~30 microJy on the radio afterglow of GRB 130822A at 15.9 hr after the burst. We thank the VLA staff for quickly executing these observations."
