TITLE: GCN CIRCULAR NUMBER: 36297 SUBJECT: LIGO/Virgo/KAGRA S240422ed: ANU 2.3m followup of candidate counterparts DATE: 24/04/25 01:50:51 GMT FROM: christopher.lidman@anu.edu.au C. Lidman, C. Wolf, C. Onken, L. Sun, S. Scott (ANU), K. Auchettl (U. Melbourne), S. Chang (Seoul National University), J. Cooke, A. Moller (Swinburne), D. Galloway (Monash), and L. Wen (UWA) report on behalf of a larger collaboration: We report observations of the GW-MMADS sources AT2024hdr and AT2024hdl (GCN #36273) with the WiFES optical spectrograph on the ANU 2.3m telescope. A weak source is visible near the reported location of AT2024hdl. We report on the redshifts of the likely host galaxies. | Source | Host Redshift | Comment | --------- | --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- | | AT2024hdl | 0.0416 | Redshift based on weak emission line features | AT2024hdr | 0.0659 | AGN features The ANU 2.3m telescope is run by the Australian National University
