Subject
LIGO/Virgo G184098: Observations from the TOROS collaboration
Date
2015-09-20T01:42:09Z (9 years ago)
From
Mario Diaz at U of Texas <mario@phys.utb.edu>
Carlos Colazo, Diego Garcia Lambas,  Bruno Sanchez, Mariano Dominguez (Astronomical Observatory of Cordoba), and
Martin Beroiz, Tania Pe����uela and Mario C. Diaz (U of Texas, Rio Grande Valley) on behalf of the TOROS team reports:

The TOROS collaboration observed for a few hours Wednesday Sep 16 and Thursday Sep 17 at the
Bosque Alegre Astrophysical Station (located in Cordoba province).
Two instruments were used the 1.5 m reflector with a FOV 22��<80><99>X14��<80><99>
with a limiting magnitude of ~20 and a 0.40 cm reflector with a 0.5x0.5 deg FOV.
Due to the limited FOV instead of performing systematic surveys of regions
within a given error a few objects were followed for some time.

For Sept 16:
 These are for the 1.5 m:

IC1933  3.42774   -52.78547      12.5

IC2039  4.15066   -56.01172      14.93

With the 0.40 cm (Toritos) the following was followed:

A crew from OAC has started preparation to start the follow-up campaign for
O1 at the Macon site (Atacama region), but it was not ready for G184098.
The analysis has not been completed yet.
