At the trigger time of the compact binary merger candidate S191205ah,
T0 = 2019-12-05 21:52:08.569 UT (The LIGO Scientific Collaboration
and Virgo Collaboration, GCN Circ. 26350), the CALET Gamma-ray
Burst Monitor (CGBM) high voltages were off (from T0-4 min to
T0+24 min).
The CALET Calorimeter (CAL) was operating in the high energy trigger
mode at the trigger time of S191205ah. 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. There
is no significant overlap with the LVC high probability localization
region at T0+-60 sec. The CAL FOV was centered at RA=80.2 deg,
Dec=-32.8 deg at T0.
