The LIGO Scientific Collaboration, the Virgo Collaboration, and the KAGRA Collaboration report:
We have conducted further analysis of the LIGO Livingston Observatory (L1) and Virgo Observatory (V1) data around the time of the compact binary merger (CBC) candidate S241002e (GCN Circular 37663). 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/S241002e
For the Bilby.multiorder.fits,0 sky map, the 90% credible region is 545 deg2. Marginalized over the whole sky, the a posteriori luminosity distance estimate is 1367 +/- 465 Mpc (a posteriori mean +/- standard deviation).
