Abstract

Following the ‘prompt’ radio outburst seen soon after the neutrino emission in SN 1987A (Turtle et al. 1987), we initiated a program to monitor the supernova at the Tidbinbilla Deep Space Communications Complex at 8.4 GHz in a search for radio emission from the expanding remnant. No radio emission has been detected to date (DOY 151, May 30 1988).
