The LIGO Scientific Collaboration, the Virgo Collaboration, and the KAGRA Collaboration report:
We have conducted further offline analysis of the LIGO Hanford Observatory (H1) and LIGO Livingston Observatory (L1) data around the time of the compact binary merger (CBC) candidate S240618ah (GCN Circular 36689). 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/S240618ah
For the Bilby.offline0.multiorder.fits,0 sky map, the 90% credible region is 5116 deg2. Marginalized over the whole sky, the a posteriori luminosity distance estimate is 5939 +/- 2437 Mpc (a posteriori mean +/- standard deviation).
