TITLE: GCN CIRCULAR NUMBER: 44045 SUBJECT: GRB 260310A / AT 2026fgk: radio detection with the VLA DATE: 26/03/18 09:14:01 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), L. Nava (INAF-OAB) At 10:22:44 UT on 2026 March 14 (T_mid = 4.26 days post-burst) the Karl G. Jansky VLA observed the field of GRB 260310A / AT 2026fgk (Fermi GBM team, GCN 43951, 43975; AstroSat CZTI collaboration, GCN 43958) in three bands, with central frequencies of 6, 10 and 15 GHz. The standard 3C286 was used as bandpass and flux density calibrator, while J1435+7605 served as phase calibrator. From a preliminary analysis, an unresolved radio source (Rhodes et al., GCN 44005) is clearly detected at all frequencies at a position: RA: 14:37:16.1424 +- 0.001 Dec: +71:50:30.328 +- 0.01 consistent with the X-ray (Jayaraman et al., GCN 43994) and optical (Hinds et al., AstroNote 2026-65, GCN 43977; Konno et al., GCN 43977; Lipunov et al., GCN 43978; Martin-Carrillo et al., GCN 43979, 44000; Moreno Méndez et al, GCN 43980; Becerra et al., GCN 43991; Watson et al., GCN 44001; Lai et al., GCN 44002; Izzo et al., GCN 44003; Moskvitin et al., GCN 44006; Romanov, GCN 44020; Brosio et al., GCN 44021; Pawar et al., GCN 44022) and infrared (Li et al., GCN 43993; Stein et al., GCN 43996; Brivio et al., GCN 44004) position of the transient. The preliminary analysis yields the following results: ================================================================ T_mid Freq Peak r.m.s.
