Abstract
We performed tiled observations of LIGO/Virgo S190814bv event with the
TAROT-Calern (TCA) telescope operating in the visible located at Calern
site at the Cote d'Azur observatory. The observation started on 08/15/19
00:09:41 UTC which corresponds approximately to 180 minutes after the GW
trigger time. We performed the following tiled observations :

TStart and TEnd refers 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. Each tile is 1.9x1.9 degrees.
These observations cover about 27% of the cumulative probability of the
bayestar skymap with HLV. The typical limiting magnitude is 18.0 for a
60.0 s exposure. The coverage map is available at:

serious transient candidates were found during our low latency analysis.
