We report our optical and near-infrared imaging observations
for the gravitational wave event S190412m.
We started our observations about 4.5 hours after receiving the alert.
We performed 390 deg2 wide-field imaging survey,
covering 88.5 % of probability region,
using the Tomo-e Gozen camera on the 105-cm Kiso Schmidt telescope,
a very wide-field (20 deg2 field-of-view) optical CMOS imager
(Sako et al. 2018, SPIE, 10702, 107020J).
A typical limiting magnitude is about 18.5 mag (no filter).
Data reduction is in progress.
We also performed galaxy-targeted observations for 63 galaxies
(see the table below) selected from the GLADE catalog
(Dalya et al. 2016) in the probability skymap of S190412m
using the following telescopes/instruments.
- 50 cm MITSuME telescope at Akeno Observatory and a 3 color imager (g, Rc, Ic)
- 50 cm MITSuME telescope at Okayama Astrophysical Observatory and a 3 color imager (g, Rc, Ic)
- 91 cm Okayama Astrophysical Observatory NIR Wide���Field Camera
(OAOWFC, J-band, Yanagisawa, K., et al. 2014, Proc. SPIE, 9147, 91476D,
Yanagisawa, K., et al. 2016, Proc. SPIE, 9908, 99085D)
- 200 cm Nayuta telescope at Nishi-Harima Astronomical Observatory
and Nishiharima Infrared Camera (NIC)
We found no apparent transient objects in these galaxies
to the 5 sigma limiting magnitudes listed below.

Note that a limiting mag = 99.00 for Kiso Schmidt is due to failure
in our real-time data analysis (typical depth is about 18.5 mag).
These observations were done in the framework of J-GEM collaboration
(Morokuma et al. 2016, PASJ, 68, L9).
