On behalf of the GLADEnet Team.
We analyzed the completeness of the GLADE+ [1] catalog within the 90% credible localization volume of the S250830bp event from the 4-Update alert from the GCN Circular 41606.
The completeness value is 6.6e-1 in the B-band using the last released skymap : [Bilby.multiorder.fits,0](https://gracedb.ligo.org/api/superevents/S250830bp/files/Bilby.multiorder.fi...), which means that the catalogue contains 66% of the total light in the B-band expected from galaxies in the localization volume.
A total of 517 galaxies are identified within the 90% gravitational volume. The complete list of galaxies can be downloaded from the GLADEnet webpage [2] : [https://virgo.pg.infn.it/gladenet/catalogs/%5D(https://virgo.pg.infn.it/glad...)
GLADEnet allows for the interactive visualization of the 90% localization area and its intersection with regions of high extinction as defined in GLADE+. Furthermore, the first 1000 galaxies can be explored interactively, enabling users to filter galaxies based on their 3D probability density or their absolute B magnitude. The ligo.skymap cross-match method [3,4] is used to obtain the list of galaxies.
