TITLE: GCN CIRCULAR NUMBER: 41415 SUBJECT: LIGO/Virgo/KAGRA S250818t: Updated Sky localization DATE: 25/08/18 17:16:28 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), LIGO Livingston Observatory (L1), and Virgo Observatory (V1) data around the time of the compact binary merger (CBC) candidate S250818t (GCN Circular 41404). 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/S250818t
For the Bilby.multiorder.fits,0 sky map, the 90% credible region is 319 deg2. Marginalized over the whole sky, the a posteriori luminosity distance estimate is 1209 +/- 290 Mpc (a posteriori mean +/- standard deviation).
