Troja (NASA/GSFC/UMCP) report on behalf of the Swift team:\n\nWe report the search results in the BAT data within T0 +/- 100 s of the\nLVC event S190602aq (LIGO/VIRGO Collaboration GCN Circ. 24717),\nwhere T0 is the LVC trigger time (2019-06-02T17:59:27.089 UTC).\n\nThe center of the BAT field of view (FOV) at T0 is\nRA = 212.203 deg,\nDEC = -45.287 deg,\nand the ROLL angle is 240.648 deg.\nThe BAT FOV (>10% partial coding) covers 0.72% of the integrated\nLVC localization probability, and 0.67% of the galaxy convolved\nprobability (Evans et al. 2016).\n\nWithin T0 +/- 100 s, no significant detections (signal-to-noise ratio\n>~ 5 sigma) are found in the BAT raw light curves with time bins of 64 ms,\n1 s, and 1.6 s. Assuming an on-axis (100% coded) short GRB with a typical\nspectrum in the BAT energy range (i.e., a simple power-law model with a\npower-law index of -1.32, Lien & Sakamoto et al. 2016), the 5-sigma upper\nlimit in the 1-s binned light curve corresponds to a flux upper\nlimit (15-350 keV) of ~ 8.42 x 10^-8 erg/s/cm^2.\n\nNo event data are available within T0 +/- 100 s.\n\nBAT retains decreased, but significant, sensitivity to rate increases for\ngamma-ray events outside of its FOV. About 3.53% of the integrated LVC\nlocalization probability was outside of the BAT FOV but above the\nEarth's limb from Swift's location, and the corresponding flux upper limits\nfor this region are within roughly an order of magnitude higher than those\nwithin the FOV.\n\nThe results of the BAT analysis are available at\nhttps://swift.gsfc.nasa.gov/results/BATbursts/team_web/S190602aq/web/source.html",
