GCN Circular 27229

The LIGO Scientific Collaboration and the Virgo 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 S200225q
(GCN Circular 27193
Not found
 
 
). Parameter estimation has been performed using
LALInference [1] and a new sky map, LALInference.fits.gz,1, distributed
via GCN Notice, is available for retrieval from the GraceDB event page:

https://gracedb.ligo.org/superevents/S200225q

The original localization in GCN 27193
Not found
 
 
 only used data from H1 and L1.
This updated localization uses data from H1, L1, and V1.

The preferred sky map at this time is LALInference.fits.gz,1. For the
LALInference.fits.gz,1 sky map, the 90% credible region is well fit by
an ellipse with an area of 27 deg2 described by the following DS9
region (right ascension, declination, semi-major axis, semi-minor
axis, position angle of the semi-minor axis):
   icrs; ellipse(08h28m26s, +87d45m51s, 3.38d, 2.54d, 104.41d)
Marginalized over the whole sky, the a posteriori luminosity distance
estimate is 995 +/- 188 Mpc (a posteriori mean +/- standard
deviation).
