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 S240107b (GCN Circular 35493). Parameter estimation has been performed using Bilby [1] and a new sky map, Bilby.offline0.multiorder.fits,0, distributed via GCN Notice, is available for retrieval from the GraceDB event page:

https://gracedb.ligo.org/superevents/S240107b

After parameter estimation by RapidPE-RIFT [2], the updated classification of the GW signal, in order of descending probability, is BBH (97%), Terrestrial (3%), NSBH (<1%), or BNS (<1%).

For the Bilby.offline0.multiorder.fits,0 sky map, the 90% credible region is 4143 deg2. Marginalized over the whole sky, the a posteriori luminosity distance estimate is 6089 +/- 2429 Mpc (a posteriori mean +/- standard deviation).
