Alessandra Corsi (TTU), Leo Singer (GSFC) report on behalf of the JAGWAR
team
We observed the 9 GLADE galaxies (Singer et al. GCN 26479) consistent
with the HAWC/gamma-ray (Martinez-Castellanos et al. GCN 26472) and
S191216ap/BAYESTAR localization volume (Piotrzkowski et al. GCN 26454)
with the VLA between 4-8 GHz on 2019 Dec 18-19. No point-like sources
are detected within 50 kpc of any of the galaxies down to 20 uJy
(3sigma), except many of the galaxies have radio sources coincident with
their nuclei (see table below). Follow up VLA observations are planned.

(**) We note that only these 3 galaxies (Ahumada et al. GCN 26507) lie
within the 95% 3D credible volume in the latest LALInference map
(Piotrzkowski et al. GCN 26505) for S191216ap.
We thank the NRAO staff for scheduling and executing these observations.
