TITLE:   GCN CIRCULAR
NUMBER:  17178
SUBJECT: GRB 141212A: VLA upper limit

W. Fong (U. Arizona) and B. A. Zauderer (Harvard) report:

"We observed the field of the short-duration GRB 141212A (Ukwatta et al.,
GCN 17158) with the Karl G. Jansky Very Large Array (VLA) beginning on 2014
Dec 12.96 UT (10.9 hr post-burst) at a mean frequency of 6 GHz. In 1 hour
of observations, we do not detect any radio source within or around the
enhanced XRT position (Osborne et al., GCN 17164). We therefore place a
3-sigma limit of ~25 microJy on the radio afterglow of GRB 141212A at 10.9
hr after the burst.

We thank the VLA staff for quickly executing these observations."
