T. Murphy (University of Sydney), D. Dobie (University of Sydney) on behalf
of the VAST collaboration.
We are currently observing candidate host galaxies in the LIGO/Virgo
G298048 localisation volume with the Australia Telescope Compact Array
(LVC GCN #21513, sky map; LVC GCN #21519, 54 nearby galaxies).
We are observing at two central frequencies of 8.5 GHz and 10.5 GHz,
each with a bandwidth of 2 GHz. Observations started at
2017-08-18 01:00 UTC. Analysis of this data is underway.
Subsequent epochs are planned.
Thank you to CSIRO staff for supporting these observations.
