report on behalf of the FRAM network, TAROT network and GRANDMA 
collaboration:

We performed tiled observations of the LIGO/Virgo S191204r event with the 
FRAM-Auger, TAROT-Reunion (TRE), TAROT-Calern (TCA) and TAROT-Chili (TCH) 
telescopes, operating in the R-band for FRAM and Clear for TAROT, located 
respectively at Pierre Auger Observatory (Malargue, Argentina), Les Makes 
Astronomical Observatory, the Cote d'Azur Observatory and La Silla ESO 
(LaS/ESO).

The following table shows for each telescope: the delay in minutes from
the trigger, which filter is used, the field of view of the telescope in 
degrees and the typical magnitude (AB mag) for a given exposure in 
seconds:
+-------------+---------+----------+-----------+------------+
| Telescope   | Delay   | Filter   | f.o.v.    | Limiting   |
|             | [min]   |          | [deg]     | Mag.       |
|-------------+---------+----------+-----------+------------|
| FRAM-Auger  | 446     |    R     | 1.0 x 1.0 | 18.0 (60s) |
| TCA         | 53      |  Clear   | 1.9 x 1.9 | 18.0 (60s) |
| TCH         | 451     |  Clear   | 1.9 x 1.9 | 18.0 (60s) |
| TRE         | 60      |  Clear   | 4.2 x 4.2 | 17.0 (60s) |
+-------------+---------+----------+-----------+------------+

We performed the following joint tiled observations [1] :

TStart and TEnd refer respectively to the time of the first and last 
exposure for a given tile. Observations are not necessarily continuous in 
this interval.
The Probability refers to the 2D spatial probability of the GW skymap 
enclosed in a given tile.

These observations cover about 84% of the cumulative probability of the 
BAYESTAR skymap created on 2019-12-04 18:02:07 (UTC).


The coverage map is available at: 
https://grandma-owncloud.lal.in2p3.fr/index.php/s/PqlwSoGEclSr2VJ

No significant transient candidates were found during our low latency 
analysis [2,3].

GRANDMA (Global Rapid Advanced Network Devoted to the Multi-messenger 
Addicts) is a network of robotic telescopes connected all over the world 
with both photometry and spectrometry capabilities for Time-domain 
Astronomy [2](https://grandma.lal.in2p3.fr/).

Details on the different telescopes are available on the GRANDMA web pages.
