Wang (THU) Report on behalf of the TAROT network and GRANDMA collaborations. We performed tiled observations of LIGO/VIRGO event S190425z (GCN #24168) with the TAROT-Reunion (Les Makes Observatory, La R��union Island, France) telescope operating in clear filter. The observation started on 04/25/19 14:56:19 UTC which corresponds approximately to 6.65 hours after the GW trigger time. We performed the following tiled observations : +------------+------------+---------+---------+---------+ | TStart | TEnd | RA | DEC | Proba | | [UTC] | [UTC] | [deg] | [deg] | [%] | |------------+------------+---------+---------+---------| | 2019-04-25 | 2019-04-25 | 194.595 | 30 | 0.2 | | 14:56:19 | 22:29:56 | | | | | 2019-04-25 | 2019-04-25 | 182.338 | 25.714 | 0.2 | | 17:03:57 | 17:55:18 | | | | | 2019-04-25 | 2019-04-25 | 189.73 | 30 | 0.3 | | 17:16:58 | 21:51:14 | | | | | 2019-04-25 | 2019-04-26 | 243.117 | 25.714 | 0.6 | | 18:07:39 | 01:40:56 | | | | | 2019-04-25 | 2019-04-26 | 246.076 | 21.429 | 0.7 | | 18:20:49 | 01:09:32 | | | | | 2019-04-25 | 2019-04-25 | 238.442 | 25.714 | 0.9 | | 19:11:40 | 22:16:40 | | | | | 2019-04-25 | 2019-04-26 | 241.519 | 21.429 | 0.7 | | 19:43:51 | 00:18:12 | | | | +------------+------------+---------+---------+---------+ The Probability refers to the 2D spatial probability of the GW skymap enclosed in a given tile. Each tile is 4.2x4.2 degrees. These observations cover about 3% of the cumulative probability of the skymap. The typical 3-sigma limiting magnitude for a two minutes exposure is 17 mag. The coverage map is available at: https://grandma-owncloud.lal.in2p3.fr/index.php/s/tZTxGSoCEMc4fwG Optical transient candidates will be sent through another GCN circular depending on our data analysis. GRANDMA (Global Rapid Advanced Network Devoted to the Multi-messenger Addicts) is a network of robotic telescopes connected all over the world with both photometry and spectrometry capabilities for Time- domain Astronomy (https://grandma.lal.in2p3.fr/).
