TITLE: GCN CIRCULAR NUMBER: 27306 SUBJECT: LIGO/Virgo S200303ba: Retraction of GW compact binary merger candidate DATE: 20/03/03 13:37:24 GMT FROM: Marco Drago at GSSI The LIGO Scientific Collaboration and the Virgo Collaboration report: The trigger S200303ba is no longer considered to be a candidate of interest. The false alarm rate is close to the open public alert threshold and most of the signal is coming from one detector whose data are largely glitchy due to bad weather conditions. The preliminary and retraction GCN notices were not sent automatically because of an issue with GCN broker subscriptions.
