TITLE: GCN CIRCULAR NUMBER: 36276 SUBJECT: LIGO/Virgo/KAGRA S240422ed: J-band non-detection of Mag24a DATE: 24/04/24 07:19:16 GMT FROM: Viraj Karambelkar at Indian Inst of Tech,Bombay Viraj Karambelkar (Caltech), Sam Rose (Caltech), on behalf of a larger collaboration. We imaged the source Mag24a (GCN 36267, 36274, 36275), reported as a candidate optical counterpart to the LVK gravitational wave event S240422ed (GCN 36236) with the Wide-Field Infrared Camera (WIRC) on the 200-inch Hale Telescope at Palomar Observatory on UTC 2024-04-24T04:24:14. We do not detect any source at the location of Mag24a, to a depth of J = 21.2 mag (AB).
