GCN Circular 18470

Subject
LIGO/Virgo G194575: Kanata/J-GEM optical follow-up
Date

From
Michitoshi Yoshida at J-GEM <yoshidam@hiroshima-u.ac.jp>
R. Itoh, T. Nakaoka, M. Yoshida, K. S. Kawabata (Hiroshima Univ.)
on behalf of the J-GEM collaboration

We made optical follow-up observations of G149575 with HOWPol
(Hiroshima Optical Wide-field Polarimeter) attached to the 1.5m
Kanata telescope at Higashi-hiroshima Observatory. The instrument
has a circular field-of-view whose diameter is 15'. Nearby galaxies
selected from GWGC within 10 degree in radius from the skymap peak
in the anti-Sun direction (RA=01:02:00 and DEC=+04:25:00).
We performed R and I bands imaging observations for each galaxy.

The observed galaxies and the limiting magnitudes of R and I bands
(Rlim and Ilim) are listed below. No new optical transient was found
in these data.
