  "body": "K. P. Mooley (Hintze Fellow, Oxford) and G. Hallinan (Caltech) report on \nbehalf of the JAGWAR team\n\nWe have initiated deep S band (2-4 GHz) observations of the potential \nhost galaxies of the GW event G29048 from the CLU list (Cook et al. \n2017, LVC GCN 21535). The pointings, observed as part of the Jansky \nArray mapping of GW bursts as Afterglows in Radio (JAGWAR) program, have \nRMS noise between 10-20 uJy. The first observing epoch of NGC 4993 on \n2017 Aug 20.93 shows no radio source at the location of SSS17a (Coulter \net al. 2017, LVC GCN 21529), with a 3sigma upper limit of ~40 uJy. We \nwill report any radio transients found through the LVC GCN system.\n\nWe thank the VLA staff for scheduling these observations."
