Abstract
Following the detection of renewed activity in H1743-322 with Swift/BAT (Krimm et al., ATEL #2058), we triggered radio observations of the source using the VLA. Observations were taken on 2009 May 27 (0855-0915 UT) at 8.4 GHz, with the array in its CnB configuration. The source was detected at a level of 2.24 +/- 0.05 mJy. The uncertainty on the absolute flux density scale is of order 5%. The source is consistent with being unresolved to the beamsize of 3.3 x 2.2 arcseconds, oriented 35 degrees E of N.
