TITLE: GCN CIRCULAR NUMBER: 25220 SUBJECT: LIGO/Virgo S190728q/IceCube neutrino candidate: No counterpart candidates in the Swift-XRT Observations DATE: 19/07/30 00:44:43 GMT FROM: Azadeh Keivani at Columbia U LIGO/Virgo S190728q/IceCube neutrino candidate: No counterpart candidates in the Swift-XRT Observations A. Tohuvavohu (PSU), A. Keivani (Columbia U.), J. A. Kennea (PSU), P. A. Evans (U. Leicester), S. Countryman (Columbia U.), Z. Marka (Columbia U.), S. Marka (Columbia U.), I. Bartos (U. Florida), D. B. Fox (PSU) The Neil Gehrels Swift Observatory observed the field of the IceCube track-like muon neutrino candidate (RA, Dec = 312.87d, 5.85d; GCN #25210) consistent with the sky localization of gravitational-wave candidate S190728q (GCN #25187) covering ~14.5 sq degrees in 145 tiles (tiling map at this url: https://tinyurl.com/y52pug65), to cover the most probable regions of the joint GW and neutrino localization (90%-containment radius: 4.8d). The observations start from 19:27 UT on July 28th and ended at 11:41 UT on July 29, 2019, and achieved an average depth of ~5 x 10^-12 erg s^-1 cm^-2 in soft X-rays (0.3-10 keV). Three X-ray sources were detected in these observations which all match known X-ray sources. None of these are above their cataloged flux values.
