report on behalf of the 1M2H collaboration:

in the process of following up the localization region of LIGO/Virgo S190513bm on 2019 May 14 UT, we observed the following fields with the 1.0-m Swope telescope at Las Campanas Observatory.  We covered approximately 15% of the probability region from the LALinference map provided by the LVC (GCN 24522). 

The Swope Direct 4kx4k imager covers 29.8 arcmin x 29.7 arcmin.  All images were 5-minute r-band exposures.  We performed difference imaging using the photpipe image reduction and subtraction pipeline (Rest et al. 2005, ApJ, 634, 1103) with PS1 (Flewelling et al. 2016, arXiv:161205243)  and SkyMapper (Wolf et al. 2018, PASA, 35, 10) r-band templates for reference.  For each image, the approximate pointing center and 3-sigma limiting magnitude are indicated.  We did not detect any new transients in these images.
