Stanzin (IIA) report on behalf of the GROWTH collaboration:\n\nWe followed up the localization region of the GW candidate event S190426c\n(LVC et al. GCN 24168) with the GROWTH-India telescope. We obtained 37\nr-band overlapping images covering a total area of 12.3 square degrees,\nwith 9.43% probability of containing the GW counterpart. Exposures were 600\nseconds long and reached a typical depth of 20.6 magnitude. The field\ncenters (given below) were chosen in coordination with ZTF and DECAM (GCN\n24257) to cover the northernmost part of the sky not accessible to them.\nData processing is underway. These fields contain 332 galaxies from the\nGLADE catalog and 6 galaxies from NED. We inspected the NED galaxies\n(listed below) and do not find any candidate counterparts near them.\n\nList of NED galaxies:\nName, RA, Dec\n2MASX J22163720+8655469, 334.156, 86.929\nVII Zw 938, 314.169, 87.880\nHDCE 1209, 342.180, 86.83\nUGC 12387, 346.084, 86.749\nUGC 12377, 345.857, 86.766\nCGCG 360-004, 18.977, 85.165\n\nList of observed fields:\n    RA        Dec\n315.000 87.441\n003.214 84.882\n012.273 85.979\n018.750 85.613\n009.000 84.516\n010.385 85.247\n003.462 85.247\n343.125 87.076\n004.091 85.979\n016.071 84.882\n337.500 87.807\n322.500 87.807\n354.375 87.076\n355.500 86.345\n353.571 87.441\n005.625 87.076\n356.538 85.247\n335.000 86.710\n331.875 87.076\n015.000 84.516\n340.714 87.441\n325.000 86.710\n355.000 86.710\n009.643 84.882\n013.500 86.345\n017.308 85.247\n003.750 85.613\n327.857 87.441\n005.000 86.710\n352.500 87.807\n345.000 86.710\n008.438 84.150\n356.250 85.613\n320.625 87.076\n004.500 86.345\n011.250 85.613\n328.500 86.345\n\nThe GROWTH India Telescope (GIT) is a 70-cm telescope with a 0.7 degree\nfield of view, set up by the Indian Institute of Astrophysics and the\nIndian Institute of Technology Bombay with support from the Indo-US Science\nand Technology Forum (IUSSTF) and the Science and Engineering Research\nBoard (SERB) of the Department of Science and Technology (DST), Government\nof India (https://sites.google.com/view/growthindia/).
