Sramek, National Radio Astronomy Observatory; and D. Pooley, University of Wisconsin at Madison, report the detection of radio emission from the type-II supernova 2008bo (cf. CBETs 1324, 1325) with the Very Large Array (VLA) radio telescope. The measured position of the radio emission of R.A. = 18h19m54s.41, Decl. = +74o34'21".0, (equinox 2000.0) is in good agreement with the measured optical position (end figures 54s.34, 20".9, from CBET 1324) and with the previously reported radio position (end figures 54s.30, 21".1, from http://www.astronomerstelegram.org/?read=1477). A flux density of 0.507 ± 0.043 mJy was measured at 8.46 GHz (wavelength 3.5 cm) on Apr. 18.52 UT. This observation supports the first radio detection (op.cit.), which had a flux density of 0.234 ± 0.070 mJy measured at 22.46 GHz (wavelength 1.3 cm) and 0.477 ± 0.053 mJy at 8.46 GHz (wavelength 3.5 cm) on Apr. 5.75. No radio emission was detected near the vicinity of SN 2008bo with a 3-sigma upper limit of 0.23 mJy at 8.46 GHz on Apr. 7.10. The recent radio measurements presented here were prompted by the x-ray brightening (ATEL 1481, 1463) detected in the Swift observations of SN 2008bo. This observed radio re-brightening is very uncommon. Further radio observations have been requested. VLA scheduling officers generously supported the authors' observing program.
