With KMTNet, we observed the optical counterpart candidates from
DECam-GROWTH and DESGW (Andreoni et al. GCN 24467; Annis et al. GCN 24474;
Sores-Santos et al. GCN 24480) of the BNS merger candidate event, S190510g
(LIGO/Virgo GCN 24448). The observation took place at the KMTNet South
Africa (SAAO), Chile (CTIO), and Australia (SSO) stations. The list of the
observed targets are given below,  along with preliminary R-band
magnitudes. Note that the errors do not include systematic errors due to
image subtraction. The error associated with the image subtraction should
be considered to be 0.1-0.2 mag at this moment. None of the candidates
below show significant fading (> 0.5 mag) over ~1 day. All of the
candidates show very slow or no fading, consistent with them being
supernovae. Further observation is ongoing.
We thank the KMTNet staffs for performing the observation.
