TITLE: GCN CIRCULAR NUMBER: 26558 SUBJECT: LIGO/Virgo S191213g : No significant candidates found in GRANDMA citizen science observations DATE: 19/12/22 16:58:41 GMT FROM: Jean-Gregoire Ducoin at LAL J.-G.

Wang (THU) report on behalf of the GRANDMA collaboration. We performed galaxy-targeted observations of the LIGO/Virgo event S191213g event (GCN #26402) with the amator astronomers of GRANDMA citizen science program "kilonova-catcher" created by CNRS/IRAP and CNRS/LAL [1]. Denis St-Gelais and Marc Serrau performed galaxy-targeted observations in clear filter of the S191213g event. Denis St-Gelais imaged 12 fields with a 36-cm telescope located in Querétaro (Mexico). Marc Serrau imaged 1 field with a 28-cm telescope located near Haute Provence Observatory (France). The typical magnitude is 19 for both sites with an exposure time of 26 min and 76 min respectively. The target galaxies are selected from the list of potential host galaxies from the Mangrove catalog [2] in the 90% credible area of the localization region of the LIGO/Virgo GW event (LALInference skymap created on 2019-12-14 00:59:57 UTC). No significant transient candidates were found during our analysis [3]. The coverage map is available at: https://grandma-owncloud.lal.in2p3.fr/index.php/s/P3cuh5eZt46lNIs/download The list of the galaxies we observed is given in the table below. TStart and TEnd refers respectively to the time of the first and last exposure for a given galaxy. Observations are not necessarily continuous in this interval. +----------+----------+-----------------------+--------+--------+------+ |TStart | TEnd | Galaxy | RA | DEC | Dist.| |[UTC] | [UTC] | name | [deg] | [deg] | [Mpc]| |----------+----------+-----------------------+--------+--------+------| |2019-12-14|2019-09-03|UGC 02249 |41.849 |45.531 |114.81| | 20:20:35 | 09:41:35 | | | | | |2019-12-15|2019-09-02|UGC 02249 |41.849 |45.531 |114.81| | 01:24:10 | 02:40:10 | | | | | |2019-12-15|2019-09-03|2MASS 03011222+4454285 |45.301 |44.908 |191.45| | 01:54:13 | 02:10:13 | | | | | |2019-12-15|2019-09-03|PGC 090026 |86.831 |-6.836 |95.14 | | 04:36:59 | 04:52:59 | | | | | |2019-12-15|2019-09-03|NGC 2076 |86.698 |-16.782 |33.70 | | 05:05:49 | 05:21:49 | | | | | |2019-12-15|2019-09-03|NGC 2196 |93.040 |-21.806 |36.82 | | 05:33:12 | 05:49:12 | | | | | |2019-12-15|2019-09-03|NGC 2206 |93.999 |-26.765 |85.85 | | 06:00:22 | 06:16:22 | | | | | |2019-12-15|2019-09-03|2MASX 06483359+0145387 |102.140 |1.761 |126.80| | 06:57:12 | 07:11:12 | | | | | |2019-12-15|2019-09-03|2MASX 06443904+0112542 |101.163 |1.215 |42.13 | | 07:21:59 | 07:37:59 | | | | | |2019-12-15|2019-09-03|2MASX 06464860+0041324 |101.703 |0.692 |176.15| | 07:49:39 | 08:05:39 | | | | | |2019-12-15|2019-09-03|2MASX 06404238-0059116 |100.177 |-0.987 |152.74| | 08:28:46 | 08:44:46 | | | | | |2019-12-15|2019-09-03|2MASX 06501768-0251397 |102.574 |-2.861 |32.24 | | 08:59:00 | 09:15:00 | | | | | |2019-12-15|2019-09-03|PGC 983153 |87.658 |-10.042 |94.94 | | 09:26:45 | 09:42:45 | | | | | +----------+----------+-----------------------+--------+--------+------+ GRANDMA (Global Rapid Advanced Network Devoted to the Multi-messenger Addicts) is a network of robotic telescopes connected all over the world with both photometry and spectrometry capabilities for Time-domain Astronomy (https://grandma.lal.in2p3.fr/).
