TITLE: GCN CIRCULAR NUMBER: 36738 SUBJECT: LIGO/Virgo/KAGRA S240622h: Updated Sky localization and Source Classification DATE: 24/06/22 20:13:54 GMT FROM: Michael J. Williams at University of Portsmouth michael.williams@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 S240622h (GCN Circular 36730). Parameter estimation has been performed using Bilby [1] and a new sky map, Bilby.multiorder.fits,0, distributed via GCN Notice, is available for retrieval from the GraceDB event page:
https://gracedb.ligo.org/superevents/S240622h
After parameter estimation by RapidPE-RIFT [2], the updated classification of the GW signal, in order of descending probability, is BBH (99%), Terrestrial (1%), NSBH (<1%), or BNS (<1%).
For the Bilby.multiorder.fits,0 sky map, the 90% credible region is 199 deg2. Marginalized over the whole sky, the a posteriori luminosity distance estimate is 1350 +/- 303 Mpc (a posteriori mean +/- standard deviation).
