Abstract
We performed tiled observations of LIGO/Virgo event S190814bv (GCN
#25324) with the TAROT-Reunion (Les Makes Observatory, La Reunion
Island, France) telescope operating in clear filter. The observations
started on 08/14/19 21:41:19 UTC which corresponds approximately to 31
minutes after the GW trigger time. We performed the following tiled
observations :

+------------+------------+---------+---------+---------+ 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. Each tile is 4.2x4.2 degrees. These
observations cover about 89% of the cumulative probability of the
LALInference skymap with HLV (posted at Aug 15, 2019 09:07:19 UTC) The
typical limiting magnitude is 16.0 for a 60.0 s exposure due to bad
conditions of observations. No serious transient candidates were found
during our low latency analysis. The coverage map is available at:

Further analysis of the field (ra:13.500,dec:-24.5454) observed 64 min
after the GW trigger time covering 76% of the LALInference skymap has
been performed. No sources were found giving an upper limit at 16 mag
for a possible optical counterpart. We have also found no source (3
sigma) at locations of desgw-190814j, desgw-190814m, desgw-190814o (GCN
#25425), DG19hqpgc, DG19tzyhc, DG19wgmjc, DG19sevhc (GCN #25362),
DG19vodmc, DG19gcwjc, DG19rzhoc, DG19tvtnc, DG19sbzkc, DG19hqhjc (GCN
#25393), PS19epf, PS19eph (GCN #25356), desgw-190814a (GCN #25336),
desgw-190814q (GN #25438). GRANDMA (Global Rapid Advanced Network
