TITLE: GCN CIRCULAR NUMBER: 34598 SUBJECT: LIGO/Virgo/KAGRA S230820bq: Updated Sky localization DATE: 23/08/29 23:14:39 GMT FROM: Anjali Balasaheb Yelikar at Rochester Institute of Technology ay2016@g.rit.edu
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 S230820bq (GCN Circular 34504). 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/S230820bq
For the Bilby.offline0.multiorder.fits,0 sky map, the 90% credible region is 1373 deg2. Marginalized over the whole sky, the a posteriori luminosity distance estimate is 3600 +/- 1437 Mpc (a posteriori mean +/- standard deviation).
For further information about analysis methodology and the contents of this alert, refer to the LIGO/Virgo/KAGRA Public Alerts User Guide https://emfollow.docs.ligo.org/userguide/.
