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 S231226av (GCN Circular 35428). 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/S231226av
For the Bilby.multiorder.fits,0 sky map, the 90% credible region is 199 deg2. Marginalized over the whole sky, the a posteriori luminosity distance estimate is 1218 +/- 171 Mpc (a posteriori mean +/- standard deviation).
