Subject
LIGO/Virgo G274296: J-GEM optical/NIR follow-up observations
Date
2017-02-22T10:41:46Z (8 years ago)
From
Michitoshi Yoshida at J-GEM <yoshidam@hiroshima-u.ac.jp>
Yoshida, M. (Hiroshima U.), Itoh, R., Tachibana, Y., Fujiwara, T.,
Morita, K., Saito, Y., Kawai, N. (Tokyo Tech), Yanagisawa, K.,
Kuroda, D. (OAO, NAOJ) on behalf of J-GEM collaboration

We conducted optical imaging observations of nearby galaxies within
the probability skymap of G274296 (Shawhan et al. GCN20689) with
the 50cm MITSuME telescopes at Akeno Observatory and Okayama
Astrophysical Observatoty (OAO) and the 91cm wide field near-infrared
camera (OAOWFC) in the framework of J-GEM collaboration. We obtained
optical three color data, g', Rc, and Ic, simultaneously with a
three color camera attached to the MITSuME telescopes. Near-infrared
J-band data were obtained with OAOWFC.

We listed the 5-sigma limiting AB magnitude of each observation below.
No optical/infrared transit source corresponding to the GW event was
found by these observations.
