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 S250118dp (GCN Circular 38975). 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/S250118dp
For the Bilby.multiorder.fits,0 sky map, the 90% credible region is 798 deg2. Marginalized over the whole sky, the a posteriori luminosity distance estimate is 1916 +/- 465 Mpc (a posteriori mean +/- standard deviation).
