TITLE: GCN CIRCULAR NUMBER: 39238 SUBJECT: LIGO/Virgo/KAGRA S250118az: Updated Sky localization DATE: 25/02/08 16:27:45 GMT FROM: Will Farr will.farr@stonybrook.edu
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 S250118az (GCN Circular 38973). 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/S250118az
For the Bilby.offline0.multiorder.fits,0 sky map, the 90% credible region is 601 deg2. Marginalized over the whole sky, the a posteriori luminosity distance estimate is 918 +/- 401 Mpc (a posteriori mean +/- standard deviation).
