Brocato (INAF-OAAb) \nreport on behalf ot the GRAWITA collaboration:\n\n\nWe carried out follow-up observations of the LIGO/Virgo/KAGRA GW trigger S230917af with the Schmidt telescopes sited in the INAF Asiago \nand Campo Imperatore observatories (Italy). \n\nObservations from Asiago have been carried out starting on 2023-09-19 at 00:44:52 UT (~ 1.61 days after the GW trigger) with the Clear, g and r filters. \nA second epoch has been carried out starting on 2023-09-19 at 21:14:12 UT (~ 2.47 days after the GW trigger) with the r filter. These observations \ncovered ~ 86% of the localisation region of the low significance X-ray burst detected by MAXI (Negoro et al., GCN Circ. 34723) and the position of sources \nS230917af_X3, S230917af_X4 and S230917af_X6 detected by Swift/XRT (Evans et al., GCN Circ. 34736). \nPreliminary analysis, which includes image subtraction between the two epochs obtained in the r band, does not show evidence for promising candidate counterparts. \nThe typical 3sigma limiting AB magnitudes are r ~ 21 mag and r ~ 22 mag for the first and second epoch, respectively. \n\n\nObservations from Campo Imperatore have have been carried out starting on 2023-09-19 at 20:14:33 UT (~ 2.42 days after the GW trigger) with the g and r filters.  \nThese observations covered ~ 86% of the localisation region of the low significance X-ray burst detected by MAXI and the position of sources S230917af_X3, \nS230917af_X4 and S230917af_X6 detected by Swift/XRT.\nPreliminary analysis, which includes image subtraction with the images obtained in the first Asiago epoch, does not show evidence for promising candidate counterparts. \nThe typical 3sigma limiting AB magnitudes are g ~ 21.4 mag and r ~ 20.8 mag.\n\n\n",
