LIGO/Virgo S190630ag: Upper limits from CALET observations
Abstract
At the trigger time of the compact binary merger candidate S190630ag, T0 = 2019-06-30 18:52:05.180 UT (The LIGO Scientific Collaboration and Virgo Collaboration, GCN Circ. 24922), the CALET Gamma-ray Burst Monitor (CGBM) high voltages were off (from T0-15 min to T0+0.5 min). The CALET Calorimeter (CAL) was operating in the high energy trigger mode at the trigger time of S190630ag. Using the CAL data, we have searched for gamma-ray events in the 10-100 GeV band from -60 sec to +60 sec from the GW trigger time and found no candidates. The 90% upper limit of CAL is 1.2x10^-5 erg/cm^2/s (10-100 GeV) when the summed LIGO-Virgo probability reaches 25%. The CAL FOV was centered at RA= 84.0 deg, DEC= 31.5 deg at T0.
