We report our optical imaging observations of galaxies in the
localization region of the BNS gravitational wave event S190425z (The
LIGO Scientific Collaboration and the Virgo Collaboration, 2019, GCN,
24168) using the Faint Object Camera and Spectrograph (FOCAS; 6 arcmin
field-of-view in diameter; Kashikawa et al. 2002, PASJ, 54, 819) on
the 8.2-m Subaru telescope. We started our observations at UT
2019-04-25 11:46, about 3.5 hours after the event.
We observed 154 galaxies in total. The target galaxies are selected
from the list of potential host galaxies for this event (Dalya et al.
2019, GCN, 24171) around the central coordinate of the localization of
the gamma-ray pulses detected with INTEGRAL/SPI-ACS (Minaev et al.
2019, GCN, 24170). The list of the galaxies we observed is shown in
the table below.
We took ten-second r-band images for each galaxy with typical 5-sigma
depths of 23-24 mag. The obtained images are compared with the
Pan-STARRS r-band images (Chambers et al., 2016, arXiv:1612.05560)
with similar or slightly shallower depths compared to our FOCAS
images. In these galaxies, we find no apparent transient objects that
are not registered in the IAU Transient Name Server
(https://wis-tns.weizmann.ac.il).
