report on behalf of the FRAM network, TAROT network and GRANDMA
collaboration:
We performed tiled observations of the LIGO/Virgo S191204r event with the
FRAM-Auger, TAROT-Reunion (TRE), TAROT-Calern (TCA) and TAROT-Chili (TCH)
telescopes, operating in the R-band for FRAM and Clear for TAROT, located
respectively at Pierre Auger Observatory (Malargue, Argentina), Les Makes
Astronomical Observatory, the Cote d'Azur Observatory and La Silla ESO
(LaS/ESO).
The following table shows for each telescope: the delay in minutes from
the trigger, which filter is used, the field of view of the telescope in
degrees and the typical magnitude (AB mag) for a given exposure in
seconds:
+-------------+---------+----------+-----------+------------+
| Telescope | Delay | Filter | f.o.v. | Limiting |
| | [min] | | [deg] | Mag. |
|-------------+---------+----------+-----------+------------|
| FRAM-Auger | 446 | R | 1.0 x 1.0 | 18.0 (60s) |
| TCA | 53 | Clear | 1.9 x 1.9 | 18.0 (60s) |
| TCH | 451 | Clear | 1.9 x 1.9 | 18.0 (60s) |
| TRE | 60 | Clear | 4.2 x 4.2 | 17.0 (60s) |
+-------------+---------+----------+-----------+------------+
We performed the following joint tiled observations [1] :

TStart and TEnd refer respectively to the time of the first and last
exposure for a given tile. Observations are not necessarily continuous in
this interval.
The Probability refers to the 2D spatial probability of the GW skymap
enclosed in a given tile.
These observations cover about 84% of the cumulative probability of the
BAYESTAR skymap created on 2019-12-04 18:02:07 (UTC).
The coverage map is available at:

No significant transient candidates were found during our low latency
analysis [2,3].
GRANDMA (Global Rapid Advanced Network Devoted to the Multi-messenger
Addicts) is a network of robotic telescopes connected all over the world
with both photometry and spectrometry capabilities for Time-domain
Astronomy [2](https://grandma.lal.in2p3.fr/).
Details on the different telescopes are available on the GRANDMA web pages.
