SUPERNOVA 2002ic
     E. Berger and A. M. Soderberg, California Institute of
Technology; and D. A. Frail, National Radio Astronomy Observatory,
report an upper limit of 0.1 mJy from an observation of the type-Ia
supernova 2002ic (IAUC 8019) with the Very Large Array at 4.86 GHz on
June 16.60 UT.  This result is consistent with the dense circumstellar
material inferred from H_alpha (IAUC 8151).


NOTE: These 'Central Bureau Electronic Telegrams' are intended to
      be preliminary announcements of items that later appear in the
      formal IAU Circulars.  Citations should normally be made to IAUCs
      rather than to CBETs.
