Report on behalf of the FRAM, TAROT and GRANDMA collaborations.

We performed tiled observations of LIGO/Virgo S200225q event 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).

+-------------+---------+----------+-------------+------------+

|             | [min]   |          | [deg]       | Mag.       |

| FRAM-Auger  | 1084    | R        | 1.0 x 1.0   | 18.0 (60s) |
| FRAM-CTA-N  | 826     | R        | 0.45 x 0.45 | 17.0 (90s) |
| TCA         | 718     | Clear    | 1.9 x 1.9   | 18.0 (60s) |
| TCH         | 1102    | Clear    | 1.9 x 1.9   | 18.0 (60s) |
| TRE         | 712     | Clear    | 4.2 x 4.2   | 17.0 (60s) |
+-------------+---------+----------+-------------+------------+

We performed the following joint tiled observations [1] :

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 9.2% of the cumulative probability of 
the LALInference skymap created on 2020-02-26 16:55:29 (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.
