TITLE: GCN CIRCULAR NUMBER: 36735 SUBJECT: LIGO/Virgo/KAGRA S240621em: Updated Sky localization and Source Classification DATE: 24/06/22 14:26:04 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 S240621em (GCN Circular 36729). Parameter estimation has been performed using Bilby [1] and a new sky map, Bilby.offline0.multiorder.fits, distributed via GCN Notice, is available for retrieval from the GraceDB event page:
https://gracedb.ligo.org/superevents/S240621em
After parameter estimation by RapidPE-RIFT [2], the updated classification of the GW signal, in order of descending probability, is BBH (96%), Terrestrial (4%), NSBH (<1%), or BNS (<1%).
For the Bilby.offline0.multiorder.fits sky map, the 90% credible region is 3069 deg2. Marginalized over the whole sky, the a posteriori luminosity distance estimate is 7458 +/- 2672 Mpc (a posteriori mean +/- standard deviation).
