larger collaboration

We performed the search for the EM counterpart of S190408an (Singer et al.
GCN 24069) using the KMTNet telescopes, covering about 30 deg^2 area that
encompasses the highest confidence regions observable from the southern
hemisphere. The observation at the South Africa site has been completed,
and the observations are scheduled at the Chile and Australia sites. The
central coordinate of each 2 deg x 2deg pointing is given below.

The observations and the analysis of the data are ongoing. We thank the
observers at the KMTNet sites for performing the observation.
