E. Berger and W. Fong (Harvard) report:
"We imaged the BAT error circle of the short GRB 091117 (GCN #10171)
with the VLA at a frequency of 8.46 GHz starting on 2009 Nov 20.07 UT.
In the 1 hour observation only a single source is detected within the
BAT error circle, in coincidence with the galaxy near XRT Source #2
(GCNs #10177,10178). However, inspection of the NRAO VLA Sky Survey
(NVSS) reveals a coincident archival source, indicating that this is not
the afterglow of GRB 091117. No other sources are detected within the
BAT error circle to a 3-sigma limit of about 120 microJy."
