JAGWAR team
We have initiated deep L band (1-2 GHz) multi-epoch observations of the
50% containment region (5 sq deg; GCN 25333) of the GW event S190814bv
with the Karl G. Jansky Very Large Array. A total of 28 pointings
(coordinates given below), observed as part of the JAGWAR program, will
achieve a uniform RMS noise between 10-15 uJy over the 5 sq deg region.
Additional pointings to cover cataloged high-mass and high-SFR galaxies
are planned, and will be announced later. We will report any radio
transients found through the GCN system. Observations of this region
with other telescopes is encouraged.
