The BIMA Search for Millimeter-Wavelength Counterparts to Gamma-Ray Bursters

We present the latest results from our on-going campaign to detect
gamma-ray burst counterparts at millimeter-wavelengths using the
Berkeley-Illinois-Maryland Association array (BIMA).
BIMA is well suited for performing counterpart searches, since
it can map the several arc-minute error boxes from initial burst
locations, as well as performing deep stares on any better
localized counterparts.
Here we summarize our observations of GRBs 970111, 970228, 970508,
970815, and 970828 with emphasis on the last three to show the
constraints that BIMA can place on the brightness of millimeter-wavelength
emission from these bursts.
