VLA observations of SN 2016bau of Type Ib in NGC 3631

We report VLA radio observations of the Type Ib SN 2016bau (ATel #8818, #8820) in NGC 3631 (distance of 13 Mpc, according to NED). We observed the position of the supernova with VLA at a mid-time of 2016 March 30.42 UT utilizing two basebands of ~1 GHz bandwidth each, centered at 8.6 & 11.0 GHz. We detect a radio source with a flux density of 1.0 +/- 0.03 mJy in the lower sideband (8.6 GHz) at a position consistent with the optical supernova emission.
