TITLE: GCN CIRCULAR NUMBER: 26642 SUBJECT: LIGO/Virgo S200105ae: We have issued GCN Notices to support automated processing DATE: 20/01/06 19:44:14 GMT FROM: Peter Shawhan at U of Maryland/LSC The LIGO Scientific Collaboration and the Virgo Collaboration report: We initially reported the subthreshold GW compact binary merger candidate S200105ae in GCN Circular 26640. We have now issued a pair of GCN Notices (Preliminary and Initial) for this candidate in order to support users who rely on Notices for getting sky maps and scheduling observations. These Notices are identical and do not contain any updated information about the candidate; in particular, the p_astro and em_bright probabilities in the Notice are from the initial real-time processing and are not considered accurate, as explained in Circular 26640.
