TITLE: GCN CIRCULAR NUMBER: 37576 SUBJECT: GRB 240414A: further radio observations with the VLA DATE: 24/09/20 14:43:52 GMT FROM: Stefano Giarratana at INAF-OAB s.giarratana@ira.inaf.it
S. Giarratana (INAF-OAB), M. Giroletti (INAF-IRA), G. Ghirlanda (INAF-OAB), N. Di Lalla (Stanford Univ.), N. Omodei (Stanford Univ.), O. S. Salafia (INAF-OAB)
At 01:21:27 UT on 2024 April 23 (T_mid = 8.98 days post-burst) and at 05:22:12 on 2024 May 15 (T_mid = 31.15 days post-burst) the Karl G. Jansky VLA started observing the field of GRB 240414A (Caputo et al., GCN 36083) at a central frequency of 6 and 10 GHz.
The standard J1331+3030 (3C286) was used as bandpass and flux density calibrator, while J1217+5835 was used as complex gain calibrator.
From a preliminary analysis, the radio source coincident with GRB 240414A (Rhodes et al., GCN 36229; Giarratana et al., GCN 36231; de Ugarte Postigo et al., GCN 36318) is detected at both frequencies:
