We observed the field of the fast transient AT2020xnd/ZTFacigmel (ATel #14105) between 04:30 and 08:30 UTC on 25/10/2020 with the Australia Telescope Compact Array (ATCA). Observations were carried out at 5.5 GHz and 9 GHz with the array in the 6B configuration.
We report 3 sigma upper limits at the position of AT2020xnd at 5.5 and 9 GHz of 50 and 60 uJy, respectively.
We thank Jamie Stevens and the ATCA staff for rapidly scheduling and carrying out these observations.
