  "body": "The LIGO Scientific Collaboration, the Virgo Collaboration, and the\nKAGRA Collaboration report:\n\nWe identified the compact binary merger candidate S231001aq during\nreal-time processing of data from LIGO Hanford Observatory (H1) and\nLIGO Livingston Observatory (L1) at 2023-10-01 14:02:20.720 UTC (GPS\ntime: 1380204158.720). The candidate was found by the CWB [1], GstLAL\n[2], MBTA [3], oLIB [4], PyCBC Live [5], and SPIIR [6] analysis\npipelines.\n\nS231001aq is an event of interest because its false alarm rate, as\nestimated by the online analysis, is 5e-09 Hz, or about one in 6\nyears. The event's properties can be found at this URL:\n\nhttps://gracedb.ligo.org/superevents/S231001aq\n\nThe classification of the GW signal, in order of descending\nprobability, is BBH (>99%), Terrestrial (<1%), NSBH (<1%), or BNS\n(<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%. [7] Using the masses and spins inferred from the\nsignal, the probability of matter outside the final compact object\n(HasRemnant) is <1%. [7] Both HasNS and HasRemnant consider the\nsupport of several neutron star equations of state. The probability\nthat either of the binary components lies between 3 and 5 solar masses\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,1, an initial localization generated by\nBAYESTAR [8], distributed via GCN notice about 31 seconds after the\ncandidate event time.\n * bayestar.multiorder.fits,2, an initial localization generated by\nBAYESTAR [8], distributed via GCN notice about 5 minutes after the\ncandidate event time.\n\nThe preferred sky map at this time is bayestar.multiorder.fits,2. For\nthe bayestar.multiorder.fits,2 sky map, the 90% credible region is\n4091 deg2. Marginalized over the whole sky, the a posteriori\nluminosity distance estimate is 1569 +/- 465 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\nhttps://emfollow.docs.ligo.org/userguide/.\n\n [1] Klimenko et al.
