The LIGO Scientific Collaboration, the Virgo Collaboration, and the KAGRA Collaboration report:

We have conducted further analysis of the LIGO Hanford Observatory (H1) and LIGO Livingston Observatory (L1) data around the time of the compact binary merger (CBC) candidate S230824r (GCN Circular 34534). 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/S230824r

For the Bilby.multiorder.fits,0 sky map, the 90% credible region is 3279 deg2. Marginalized over the whole sky, the a posteriori luminosity distance estimate is 4701 +/- 1563 Mpc (a posteriori mean +/- standard deviation).
