TITLE:   GCN GRB OBSERVATION REPORT
NUMBER:  4569
SUBJECT: GRB 060116: Radio Detection
DATE:    06/01/23 22:38:11 GMT
FROM:    Dale A. Frail at NRAO  <dfrail at nrao.edu>

Dale A. Frail (NRAO) reports on behalf of a larger collaboration:

"We used the Very Large Array to observe the Swift burst GRB060116
(GCN 4519; GCN 4531) at a frequency of 8.46 GHz on 2006 January 21 and
23. At the position of the IR afterglow (GCN 4540; GCN 4545)
we detect a weak radio source.

Further observations are planned to monitor the source and to obtain
an accurate flux calibration.
