We observed the new transient Swift J1910.2-0546/MAXI J1910-057 (Krimm et al. 2012, ATel #4139; Usui et al. 2012, ATel #4140) with the European VLBI Network (EVN) in real-time mode on 12 June 2012 (MJD 56090.078). The observations were at 1.6 GHz and lasted for 4 hours.
We used the J2000 coordinate: RA=19:10:22.79, Dec=-05:47:56.3 (Rau et al. 2012 Atel #4144, Kennea et al. 2012, ATel #4145) as the correlation phase center of the transient source and the nearby source VCS J1912-0804 to do the phase calibration.
There was no radio source with a peak brightness 5sigma > 0.1 mJy/beam detected in the image within 8 arcsec. There was also no hint for any possible extended structure.
We thank the EVN PC for approving the ToO e-EVN observations during the EVN Session. e-VLBI research infrastructure in Europe is supported by the European Union's Seventh Framework Programme (FP7/2007-2013) under grant agreement RI-261525 NEXPReS.
