We report radio observations with the Very Large Array (VLA) of supernova PSN J23355226+2336521 in galaxy NGC 7712, discovered by Koichi Itagaki on April 25, 2015 and classified by AZTEC (Arizona Transient Exploration and Characterization) as a Type Ic supernova (ATel #7456).
We observed the position of the supernova with VLA at a mid-time of 2015 April 30.6 UT utilizing two, ~1 GHz sidebands centered at 5 & 7 GHz. No radio emission has been detected at the location of the supernova down to a 3 sigma upper limit of 0.05 mJy. At the distance of the host galaxy (37.2 Mpc), this corresponds to a limit on spectral luminosity of < 8.4 x 10^{25} erg/s/Hz.
We thank the NRAO staff for carrying out this observation.
