LIGO/Virgo G284239:SVOM/Mini-GWAC observations of the initial skymap
Abstract
We observed about 2400 square degree (6 sky regions) of the skymap of the advanced LIGO trigger G284239, with SVOM/Mini-GWAC, at Xinglong Observatory of NAOC equipped with U9000 camera (FOV~400 square degree/camera). SVOM/Mini-GWAC comprises 12 wide field angle cameras (aperture=7cm), working with unfiltered band. The observations are operated in time-series mode, taking one exposure in 15 seconds (10s exposure + 5s readout). The limit magnitude is ~12 mag in R band. We estimate a 22.0% prior probability that these 6 regions contain the true location of the source. The coordinates of the 6 regions and observation time are list following: start-obs(UTC) end-obs(UTC) Ra Dec Camera_ID 2017-05-05 12:18:07 2017-05-05 14:09:34 06:35:33.2 +70:03:11 C3 2017-05-05 14:17:02 2017-05-05 20:09:33 17:41:40.8 +30:05:48 C3 2017-05-05 12:15:52 2017-05-05 14:07:41 06:44:38.4 +49:45:43 C4 2017-05-05 14:15:38 2017-05-05 20:09:05 17:45:33.4 +10:00:59 C4 2017-05-05 12:10:29 2017-05-05 17:09:26 09:15:43.9 +69:29:34 C5 2017-05-05 19:59:14 2017-05-05 20:09:17 11:56:29.8 +69:27:40 C5 2017-05-05 12:10:29 2017-05-05 17:09:36 09:21:17.0 +50:29:41 C6 2017-05-05 17:10:50 2017-05-05 20:04:52 12:01:27.8 +50:23:40 C6 2017-05-05 12:11:12 2017-05-05 20:09:24 16:15:56.4 +29:39:59 C7 2017-05-05 12:45:41 2017-05-05 20:09:30 16:16:57.1 +10:13:56 C8 The covering map is available at: http://svom.bao.ac.cn/svomgwpub/skymap/G284239_skymap_miniGWAC.png (svom:gw2017@svom). The first image was taken 2.4 days after the event trigger. The delay is due to the bad weather. No any significant transient is found in our online pipeline. The image analysis is ongoing in detailed processing with our offline pipeline to search for any transient candidate.
