The LIGO Scientific Collaboration, the Virgo Collaboration, and the KAGRA Collaboration report:

We have conducted further offline 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 S241007bw (GCN Circular 37727). Parameter estimation has been performed using Bilby [1] and a new sky map, Bilby.multiorder.fits,3, distributed via GCN Notice, is available for retrieval from the GraceDB event page:

https://gracedb.ligo.org/superevents/S241007bw

For the Bilby.multiorder.fits,3 sky map, the 90% credible region is 823 deg2. Marginalized over the whole sky, the a posteriori luminosity distance estimate is 3923 +/- 1251 Mpc (a posteriori mean +/- standard deviation).
