We used public data (observations of Inner Galaxy, proposal 1620021, PI
A. Bodaghee) of IBIS-ISGRI/INTEGRAL to search for a possible
EM-counterpart of the LIGO/Virgo S190425z event (LVC GCN #24168). We
present our preliminary analysis of the prompt off-axis observation of
the event with IBIS-ISGRI.
Around trigger time of S190425z (=G330561) the boresight angle was 30.8
degrees. We found no significant emission above the background in the
time window -100 s + 100 s around the LIGO/Virgo S190425z trigger time.
In particular, we did not detect any positive signal near the time of a
hard X-ray pulse detected by SPI-ACS/INTEGRAL(Martin-Carillo et al. GCN
#24169; Minaev et al., GCN #24170; Savchenko et al., GCN #24178).
The upper limit of any possible emission with a duration of 1 s was (1.7
+/- 0.8) x 10^{-6} erg / cm2 and (1.3 +/- 0.8) x 10^{-6} erg / cm2 in
the energy ranges 30-100 and 100-500 keV, respectively. To estimate the
flux we used our calibration based on several hundreds of GRBs
synchronously detected by GBM/Fermi and on/off-axis by IBIS/ISGRI
(Chelovekov et al, 2019, in press).
