report on behalf of the FRAM, TAROT and GRANDMA collaborations.
We performed tiled observations of LIGO/Virgo S200115j event
(#GCN26759) with the FRAM-Auger, FRAM-CTA-N, TAROT-Calern (TCA),
TAROT-Chili (TCH), TAROT-Reunion (TRE) telescopes.
FRAM-Auger is located at Pierre Auger Observatory. FRAM-CTA-N is
located at Observatorio del Roque de los Muchachos. TCA is located at
Calern site at the Cote d'Azur observatory. TCH is located at La Silla
ESO observatory (LaS/ESO). TRE is located at Les Makes astronomical
observatory.
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 limiting magnitude (AB mag) for a
given exposure in seconds (s).
+-------------+---------+----------+-------------+------------+
| Telescope | Delay | Filter | f.o.v. | Limiting |
| | [min] | | [deg] | Mag. |
|-------------+---------+----------+-------------+------------|
| FRAM-Auger | 1247 | R | 1.0 x 1.0 | 18.0 (60s) |
| FRAM-CTA-N | 916 | R | 0.45 x 0.45 | 17.0 (90s) |
| TCA | 771 | Clear | 1.9 x 1.9 | 18.0 (60s) |
| TCH | 16 | Clear | 1.9 x 1.9 | 18.0 (60s) |
| TRE | 704 | Clear | 4.2 x 4.2 | 17.0 (60s) |

TStart and TEnd refers 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 13.2% of the cumulative probability of
the LALInference skymap created on 2020-01-17 13:54:56
(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.
