Report on behalf of the GRANDMA collaboration:
We performed tiled observations of LIGO/VIRGO event S240422ed (GCN 36236, 36240, and 36243) with the FRAM-Auger (30cm ODK + CCD MII G4-16000, 60' x 60' field of view, Pierre Auger Observatory, Malargue, Argentina) telescope.
Observations were conducted from 2024-04-23 00:02:54 to 2024-04-23 05:16:49, beginning approximately 2.46 hr after the GW trigger time, under moderate weather conditions. Using the Bilby skymap as a reference, we searched 11.5% (65.1 sq deg) of the localization region, acquiring 2 consecutive 2-minute long exposures in Johnson R filter at the individual pointings as described below:
