and the CALET collaboration:
The CALET Gamma-ray Burst Monitor (CGBM) was operating at the trigger
time of S190930s T0 = 2019-09-30 13:35:41.247 UT (The LIGO Scientific
Collaboration and Virgo Collaboration, GCN Circ.25871).
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 20 % and 100 %, respectively (and 100 % credible region of the
initial sky map was above the horizon). The HXM and SGM fields of
view were centered at RA = 28.1 deg, Dec = 3.4 deg and RA = 20.8 deg,
Dec = -3.3 deg at T0, respectively.
Based on the analysis of the light curve data with 0.125 sec time
resolution from T0-60 sec to T0+60 sec, we found no significant
excess around the trigger time in either the HXM or the SGM data.
The CALET Calorimeter (CAL) was operating in the high energy trigger
mode at the trigger time of S190930s. Using the CAL data, we have
searched for gamma-ray events in the 10-100 GeV band from -60 sec to
+60 sec from the GW trigger time and found no candidates in the
overwrap region with the LIGO-Virgo high probability localization
region.
The 90% upper limit of CAL is 3.5x10^-5 erg/cm^2/s (10-100 GeV) when
the summed LIGO-Virgo probability reaches 5%. The CAL FOV was
centered at RA= 20.7 deg, DEC= -3.3 deg at T0.
