We continue our VLA monitoring of SN 2006gy, which is among the
most luminous supernovae ever seen. On 2008 Feb. 10.0 UT, no radio
emission was seen at the optical position with the following 3-sigma
upper limits:
8.4 GHz: 0.25 mJy/bm; resolution 1.4",
43
GHz: 0.55 mJy/bm; resolution 0.3".
(For our previous upper limits, see Atel 1254.; for
other radio upper limits see Argo et al., Atel
1084 and
Chandra et al., Atel 1082)
