TITLE: GCN CIRCULAR NUMBER: 24403 SUBJECT: LIGO/Virgo S190503bf: CALET Observations DATE: 19/05/06 10:18:19 GMT FROM: Valentin Pal'shin at AGU M. L. Cherry (LSU), A. Yoshida, T. Sakamoto, V. Pal'shin, S. Sugita (AGU), Y. Kawakubo (LSU), K. Yamaoka (Nagoya U), S. Nakahira (RIKEN), Y. Asaoka, S. Ozawa, S. Torii (Waseda U), T. Tamura, Y. Shimizu (Kanagawa U), N. Cannady (LSU), S. Ricciarini (U of Florence), P. S. Marrocchesi (U of Siena) and the CALET collaboration: At the trigger time of the compact binary merger candidate S190503bf, T0=2019-05-03 18:54:04.294 UTC (The LIGO Scientific Collaboration and Virgo Collaboration, GCN Circ. 24377), the high-voltage of the CALET Gamma-ray Burst Monitor (CGBM) detectors were off (from T0-23 min to T0+8 min). The CALET Calorimeter (CAL) was operating in high energy trigger mode at the trigger time of S190503bf. Using the CAL data, we have searched for gamma-ray events in the 10-100 GeV band within the time interval T0 +/- 60 sec and found no candidates. The 90% upper limit of CAL is 4.2x10^-5 erg/cm2/s (10-100 GeV) when the summed LIGO-Virgo probability reaches 10%. The CAL FOV was centered at RA=169.0 deg, Dec=-45.5 deg at T0.
