Kasliwal (Caltech)\n\nreport on behalf of the GROWTH (Global Relay of Observatories Watching\nTransients Happen) collaborations\n\nWe spatially cross-matched the LIGO/Virgo G298048 trigger (90% containment\nvolume using bayestar-HLV.fits; LVC GCN 21513) with our Census of the Local\nUniverse (CLU; Cook et al. in prep) galaxy catalog and found 54 galaxies.\nThis catalog is a compilation of galaxies with existing redshifts from many\nsources (e.g., NED, SDSS, etc) and new galaxies from a 3PI four-filter\nnarrow-band survey to look for redshifted Halpha emission out to 200 Mpc\nwith the Palomar Oschin 48-inch telescope. The narrow-band survey is\nlimited to a declination above -20 degrees, thus all galaxies within the\n90% volume come from the compiled CLU catalog with no Halpha overlap.\n\nWe list here all 54 galaxies sorted by stellar mass (Mstar) for galaxies\nwhose location on the sky and distance falls in the 90% volume reported by\nthe BAYESTAR probability sky map (Singer et al. 2016). We also list the\ndust-corrected star formation rates (SFRs) for galaxies with GALEX FUV\ndetections and a 'nan' for those with no detection.\n\nIn addition, we have cross-matched the CLU catalog with the IceCube source\nclosest to the LIGO localization (GCN #21511) and found 1 galaxy in the\nquoted error circle (ra=182.0 deg; dec=-3.2 deg; radius=0.9 deg) and a\ndistance less than 50 Mpc. This galaxy in presented at the bottom of the\ntable below and is marked by '**'.\n\nFinally, we have compared CLU to the GLADE results posted in the GCN #21516\nand found that all 15 galaxies reported by GLADE are a subset of our 54\ngalaxies in the 90% LIGO volume. The matched galaxies are marked by '*'\n\n                 name_NED                    ra      dec    distmpc\nlogsfr_fuv logmstar dm_kin       P\n----------------------------------------- --------
