The CALET Gamma-ray Burst Monitor (CGBM) was operating at the trigger
time of S190910d T0 = 2019-09-10 01:26:19.243 UT (The LIGO Scientific
Collaboration and Virgo Collaboration, GCN Circ. 25695 and 25723).
No CGBM on-board trigger occurred around the event time. Based
on the LIGO-Virgo localization sky map, the summed LIGO probabilities
inside the CGBM HXM (7 - 3000 keV) and SGM (40 keV - 28 MeV) fields
of view are 1 % and 64 %, respectively (and 77 % credible region of the
updated localization map was above the horizon). The HXM and SGM
fields of view were centered at RA = 108.8 deg, Dec = 29.9 deg and
RA = 100.8 deg, Dec = 22.9 deg at T0, respectively.
The CALET Calorimeter (CAL) was operating in the low energy
trigger mode at the trigger time of S190910d. Using the CAL data,
we have searched for gamma-ray events in the 1-10 GeV band
from -60 sec to +60 sec from the GW trigger time and found no
candidates. There is no significant overlap with the LIGO-Virgo
high probability localization region. The CAL FOV was centered at
RA=100.8 deg, Dec=22.9 deg at T0.
