N. Pankov (HSE, IKI), A. Pozanenko (IKI, HSE), A. Volnova (IKI), E. Klunko (ISTP) report on behalf of the IKI GRB-FuN collaboration:
We observed the fields of 8 GLADE+ galaxies contained in the 50% probability volume traced by the LIGO/Virgo/KAGRA in the latest Bilby.offline1.multiorder.fits skymap file for S250206dm (LIGO Scientific Collaboration, GCN 39175; LIGO Scientific Collaboration, GCN 39184). The observations were carried out with the 1.5-meter telescope of the Sayan Solar Observatory located at Mondy, Buryatia. The series of the 3*120 sec exposures in the R-filter were taken on epochs of Feb. 12 and Feb. 14. We performed subtraction of the Feb.14 stacked images from the ones taken on Feb.12. Our preliminary analysis of the residual difference images does not reveal any prominent optical transient located in the vicinity of the observed GLADE+ galaxies.
The preliminary 3-sigma upper limits on the subtracted images are as follows:

The photometry is based on nearby stars from the USNO-B1.0 catalog (R2 magnitudes) and has not been corrected for the Galactic extinction. The further analysis is ongoing.
