[GCN Circulars]

TITLE:   GCN CIRCULAR
NUMBER:  19010
SUBJECT: GRB 160131A: second epoch observations with the GMRT
DATE:    16/02/11 10:00:38 GMT
FROM:    Poonam Chandra at TIFR  <poonam at ncra.tifr.res.in>

Poonam Chandra (NCRA-TIFR)  and A. J. Nayana (NCRA-TIFR) report on 
behalf of a
larger collaboration:

We reobserved GRB 160131A (GCN Circ. 18951)  with the Giant Metrewave Radio
Telescope (GMRT) at 1420 MHz band on 2016 Feb 10.78 UT. While we do not 
detect
the GRB radio afterglow, we place very constraining 3-sigma upper limit 
on the
GRB flux in the Swift error cicle (GCN Circ.  18970) to be 105 uJy.

The GMRT data for GRB 160131A is public for anyone to use.

Further observations are planned.  We thank GMRT staff for making these 
observations possible.
