  "body": "The LIGO Scientific Collaboration, the Virgo Collaboration, and the\nKAGRA Collaboration report:\n\nWe identified the compact binary merger candidate S230624av during\nreal-time processing of data from LIGO Hanford Observatory (H1) and\nLIGO Livingston Observatory (L1) at 2023-06-24 11:31:03.770 UTC (GPS\ntime: 1371641481.770). The candidate was found by the CWB [1], MBTA\n[2], GstLAL [3], and SPIIR [4] analysis pipelines.\n\nS230624av is an event of interest because its false alarm rate, as\nestimated by the online analysis, is 1.3e-08 Hz, or about one in 2\nyears. The event's properties can be found at this URL:\n\nhttps://gracedb.ligo.org/superevents/S230624av\n\nThe classification of the GW signal, in order of descending\nprobability, is BBH (95%), Terrestrial (5%), BNS (<1%), or NSBH (<1%).\n\nAssuming the candidate is astrophysical in origin, the probability\nthat the lighter compact object is consistent with a neutron star mass\n(HasNS) is <1%. [5] Using the masses and spins inferred from the\nsignal, the probability of matter outside the final compact object\n(HasRemnant) is <1%. [5] Both HasNS and HasRemnant consider the\nsupport of several neutron star equations of state. The probability\nthat any one of the binary components lie between 3 to 5 solar mass\n(HasMassgap) is <1%.\n\nTwo sky maps are available at this time and can be retrieved from the\nGraceDB event page:\n * bayestar.multiorder.fits,0, an initial localization generated by\nBAYESTAR [6], distributed via GCN notice about 31 seconds after the\ncandidate event time.\n * bayestar.multiorder.fits,1, an initial localization generated by\nBAYESTAR [6], distributed via GCN notice about 5 minutes after the\ncandidate event time.\n\nThe preferred sky map at this time is bayestar.multiorder.fits,1. For\nthe bayestar.multiorder.fits,1 sky map, the 90% credible region is\n1718 deg2. Marginalized over the whole sky, the a posteriori\nluminosity distance estimate is 2556 +/- 787 Mpc (a posteriori mean\n+/- standard deviation).\n\nFor further information about analysis methodology and the contents of\nthis alert, refer to the LIGO/Virgo/KAGRA Public Alerts User Guide\n<https://emfollow.docs.ligo.org/userguide/>.\n\n [1] Klimenko et al.
