LIGO/Virgo S191213g: MASTER observation of AT2019wxt (PS19hgw)
Abstract
We report the MASTER-Kislovodsk observation of AT2019wxt (PS19hgw) PanSTARR OT optical transient inside 80% probability contour of the compact binary merger event S191213g (The LIGO Scientific Collaboration and the Virgo Collaboration, GCN 26402). MASTER-Kislovodsk auto-detection system detected OT source at (RA, Dec) = 01h 55m 41.97s +31d 25m 03.8s on 2019-12-18.72697 UT. The OT unfiltered magnitude is ~20m (limit 20.2m). The OT is seen in ~18 images. There is no minor planet at this place. The observation and reduction will continue. The message may be cited.
