Zhang (THU), T. P. Li (IHEP/THU), F. J. Lu, L. M. Song, M. Wu, Y. P. Xu, S. N. Zhang (IHEP), report on behalf of the Insight-HXMT team: Insight-HXMT was taking data normally around the reported LIGO/Virgo S191105e event (GCN #26182), trigger time 2019-11-05T14:35:21.933 UTC. At T0, about 78% of the LIGO localization region was covered by the Insight-HXMT without occultationby the Earth. Within T0 +/- 100 s, no significant excess events (SNR > 3 sigma) are found in a search of the Insight-HXMT/HE raw light curves. Assuming the GW counterpart GRB with three typical GRB Band spectral models, two typical duration timescales (1 s, 10 s) from the center of the LIGO-Virgo location probability map (RA=14 deg, DEC=-40 deg), the 5-sigma upper-limits fluence (0.2 - 5 MeV, incident energy) are reported below: Band model 1 (alpha=-1.9, beta=-3.7, Ep=70 keV): 1 s: 2.9e-07 erg cm^-2 10 s: 1.4e-06 erg cm^-2 Band model 2 (alpha=-1.0, beta=-2.3, Ep=230 keV): 1 s: 3.6e-07 erg cm^-2 10 s: 2.0e-06 erg cm^-2 Band model 3 (alpha=-0.0, beta=-1.5, Ep=1000 keV): 1 s: 4.3e-07 erg cm^-2 10 s: 3.1e-06 erg cm^-2 All measurements above are made with the CsI detectors operating in the regular mode with the energy range of about 80-800 keV (deposited energy). Only gamma-rays with energy greater than about 200 keV can penetrate the spacecraft and leave signals in the CsI detectors installed inside of the spacecraft. Insight-HXMT is the first Chinese space X-ray telescope, which was funded jointly by the China National Space Administration (CNSA) and the Chinese Academy of Sciences (CAS).
