We report galaxy-targeted observations for the gravitational wave event S190814bv (Mo et al, GCN Circ. 25324). We started our observations from 2019-08-16 15:21 UT about 1.7 days after the event and ended at 2019-08-16 19:12 UT.
We performed galaxy-targeted observations for 31 galaxies (see the table below) selected from the GLADE catalog (Dalya et al. 2018) in the probability skymap of S190814bv using the following telescopes and instruments.
We found no apparent transient objects in these galaxies to 5 sigma limiting magnitudes in AB listed below.
