TITLE: GCN CIRCULAR NUMBER: 41032 SUBJECT: LIGO/Virgo/KAGRA S250702n: Updated Sky localization DATE: 25/07/08 15:46:53 GMT FROM: lucy.thomas@ligo.org
The LIGO Scientific Collaboration, the Virgo Collaboration, and the KAGRA Collaboration report:
We have conducted further analysis of the LIGO Hanford Observatory (H1) and LIGO Livingston Observatory (L1) data around the time of the compact binary merger (CBC) candidate S250702n (GCN Circular 40884). Parameter estimation has been performed using Bilby [1] and a new sky map, Bilby.multiorder.fits,0, distributed via GCN and SCiMMA notices, is available for retrieval from the GraceDB event page:
https://gracedb.ligo.org/superevents/S250702n
For the Bilby.multiorder.fits,0 sky map, the 90% credible region is well fit by an ellipse with an area of 1926 deg2 described by the following DS9 region (right ascension, declination, semi-major axis, semi-minor axis, position angle of the semi-minor axis): icrs; ellipse(04h22m, -40d00m, 33.59d, 18.62d, 58.18d) Marginalized over the whole sky, the a posteriori luminosity distance estimate is 2180 +/- 913 Mpc (a posteriori mean +/- standard deviation).
