Helou (IPAC) On behalf of the Zwicky Transient Facility (ZTF) and Global Relay of Observatories Watching Transients Happen (GROWTH) collaborations We continued observations of the gravitational wave trigger S190425z (LVC et al. GCN 24168) with ZTF on UT 2019-04-26. We covered a total of 4950 sq deg in g-band and r-band with over 50% of the enclosed probability targeted based on the original sky map and 24% actual probability enclosed based on the new sky map. Each exposure on the second night was 90s, with a typical depth of 21 mag. See details in Kasliwal et al. GCN 24191 for additional details on data processing. Objects with a spectroscopic host galaxy redshift higher than 0.1 were excluded and photometric redshifts, where available are noted below. Additional candidates with no detections prior to merger, inside the 90% localization area of the LALInference sky map are: ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ ZTF Name | RA (deg) | DEC (deg) ��| Filter | Mag ��| Magerr �| Notes ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ ZTF19aasckwd | 253.1643781 | �10.6022943 | r | 20.15 | 0.13 | ZTF19aasfogv | 261.8430161 | -11.3338523 | g � | 20.53 | 0.18 | [hostless] [lowb] ZTF19aasejil | 261.9458106 | ��1.6537207 | g | 20.53 | 0.14 | z~0.199 +/- 0.035 [nuc] ZTF19aaryxjf | 254.5952784 | �-3.9847379 | g | 19.95 | 0.08 | z~0.083 +/- 0.015 [nuc] ZTF19aascxux | 258.2933102 | �17.2938689 | g | 20.56 | 0.13 � ZTF19aasdajo | 254.3550291 | �11.9961079 | g | 20.70 | 0.20 | z~0.292 +/- 0.067 ZTF19aasbamy | 231.2656676 | �24.9275799 | g | 20.66 | 0.15 | z~0.201 +/- 0.047 ZTF19aasckkq | 248.4131017 | �13.9101828 | g | 20.86 | 0.18 | z=0.0528 [specz] ZTF19aarycuy | 244.0832042 | �21.7409392 | r | 20.07 | 0.15 | z~0.127 +/- 0.011 [nuc] ZTF19aasbphu | 245.5831354 | �21.4081853 | r | 19.71 | 0.13 | z~0.0971 +/- 0.0292 �ZTF19aasbaui | 235.2496342 | �24.0816102 | g | 20.49 | 0.14 | z~0.216 +/- 0.052 �ZTF19aarxxwb | 288.6933231 | �-3.0075058 | g | 18.89 | 0.07 | [hostless] [lowb] �ZTF19aashlts | 253.1875476 | -19.0941338 | r � | 19.95 | 0.11 | [lowb] ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Notes: [specz] : Spectroscopic redshift. [hostless] : No discernable host galaxy. [nuc] : Close to the host nucleus [lowb] : Galactic latitude less than 20 degrees Our most promising event is ZTF19aasckkq as it is -16.3 absolute mag and we encourage follow-up. We also encourage due diligence follow-up of ZTF19aasckwd and ZTF19aascxux. We caution these targets are somewhat fainter and our upper limits relatively less constraining on age. We also caution that we cannot rule out the supernova hypothesis. Additional follow-up and analysis is ongoing.
