We have conducted further analysis of the LIGO Hanford Observatory (H1), LIGO Livingston Observatory (L1), and Virgo Observatory (V1) data around the time of the compact binary merger (CBC) candidate S240825ar (GCN Circular 37268). 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/S240825ar

For the Bilby.multiorder.fits,0 sky map, the 90% credible region is 351 deg2. Marginalized over the whole sky, the a posteriori luminosity distance estimate is 1311 +/- 309 Mpc (a posteriori mean +/- standard deviation).
