TITLE: GCN CIRCULAR NUMBER: 36704 SUBJECT: LIGO/Virgo/KAGRA S240615dg: Updated Sky localization DATE: 24/06/19 21:51:02 GMT FROM: Nihar.Gupte@aei.mpg.de
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 S240615dg (GCN Circular 36669). Parameter estimation has been performed using Bilby [1] and a new sky map, Bilby.offline0.multiorder.fits,0, distributed via GCN Notice, is available for retrieval from the GraceDB event page:
https://gracedb.ligo.org/superevents/S240615dg
For the Bilby.offline0.multiorder.fits,0 sky map, the 90% credible region is well fit by an ellipse with an area of 5 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(00h31m, +45d40m, 1.36d, 1.20d, 111.41d) Marginalized over the whole sky, the a posteriori luminosity distance estimate is 1420 +/- 236 Mpc (a posteriori mean +/- standard deviation).
