TITLE: GCN CIRCULAR NUMBER: 18782 SUBJECT: LIGO/Virgo G211117: Liverpool Telescope followup of EM candidates DATE: 15/12/31 10:19:09 GMT FROM: Iain Steele at Liverpool/JMU I.A. Steele & C.M. Copperwheat (Liverpool JMU) report the following observations of EM candidates associated with G211117. ��All observations were obtained using the 2.0 metre Liverpool Telescope, La Palma. Master OTJ020906 (GCN 18729) was observed with the IO:O imaging camera in the R band with exposure time 150 seconds on 2015-12-28 at 21:00UT. �� The transient could not be distinguished by eye from the host galaxy to an�� approximate limiting magnitude of R~20 with respect to USNO objects in the image. The reported transient in galacy UGC1410 (GCN 18742) was observed with�� the acquisition camera of the SPRAT spectrograph on 2015-12-29 at 19:48UT. ��No source was visible in the 10 second white light acquisition images�� at the reported coordinates - we note the report from iPTF that this�� is likely a solar system object (GCN 18762). LSQ15BVW (GCN 18759) was observed with the SPRAT spectrograph on 2015-12-29 at 23:20UT. ��No source was apparent at the reported coordinates in the 10 second white light acqusition images to a limiting magnitude of R~19.5 with respect to USNO objects in the image. iPTF-15ffh (GCN 18762) was observed with the SPRAT spectrograph on 2015-12-30 at 19:04UT. ��A spectrum was obtained and classification is underway. iPTF-15ffi (GCN 18762) was observed with the SPRAT spectrograph on 2015-12-30 at 19:43UT. ��A spectrum was obtained and classification is�� underway. �� iPTF-15fel (GCN 18762) was observed with the SPRAT spectrograph on 2015-12-30 at 20:20UT. ��A spectrum was obtained and classification is underway. �� iPTF-15fhq (GCN 18762) was observed with the SPRAT spectrograph on 2015-12-30 at 21:22UT. ��A spectrum was obtained and classification is underway. iPTF-15fev (GCN 18762) was ovserved with the SPRAT spectrograpg on 2015-12-30 at 21:55UT. ��A spectrum was obtained and classification is underway. iPTF-15fhl (GCN 18762) was observed with the SPRAT spectrograoph on 2015-12-31 at 02:48UT. ��A spectrum was obtained and classification is underway.
