LIGO/Virgo S191216ap: VLA/JAGWAR radio monitoring of the 1-sigma HAWC region

We have initiated deep C band (4-8 GHz) multi-epoch observations of the 1-sigma containment region (0.3 sq deg; HAWC Collaboration, GCN 25333) coincident with the GW event S191216ap with the Karl G. Jansky Very Large Array. A total of 37 pointings (7 arcmin FWHM primary beam at 6 GHz; pointing coordinates given below), observed as part of the JAGWAR program, will achieve a uniform RMS noise of ~8 uJy over the survey region. We will report any radio transients found through the GCN system.
