Ralph Martin (Perth Observatory) report:

We observed the BAT refined position of the GRB 080411 (GCN 7591) at 4.8 and 8.456 GHz with the Australia Telescope Compact Array on June 01, 2008 between 03:43:05 UT and 09:43:35 UT.

We did not detect a radio source at the BAT position of the GRB 080411 (GCN 7591). The radio flux density at the GRB position is -0.101 +/- 0.324 mJy at 4.8 GHz and 0.188 +/- 0.374 at 8.456 GHz (1-sigma).

The Australia Telescope Compact Array (/ Parkes telescope / Mopra telescope / Long Baseline Array) is part of the Australia Telescope which is funded by the Commonwealth of Australia for operation as a National Facility managed by CSIRO.
