VLA Observations of the AGILE Cygnus Region Source Field Following its May 2008 Re-brightening in Gamma-rays
Abstract
Following the recent announcement of renewed gamma-ray activity in the AGILE Cygnus region source (ATel #1547; see also ATel #1492), we obtained VLA observations of the field in search of a variable radio source which would implicate a likely counterpart. Observations at 1.4 GHz were obtained on May 30 and June 3, 2008 (both at 09hr UT), a few days after the AGILE detection of the high gamma-ray state (from data collected between May 22-27).
