TITLE: GCN CIRCULAR NUMBER: 24489 SUBJECT: LIGO/Virgo S190510g: Update on candidate significance DATE: 19/05/11 20:19:22 GMT FROM: Shasvath J. Kapadia at U. of Wisconsin, Milwaukee The LIGO Scientific Collaboration and the Virgo Collaboration report: We have conducted subsequent analysis of data around the time of S190510g including LIGO and Virgo data collected in the 24 hour period after the event. The resulting re-estimate of the background model yields a FAR (False Alarm Rate) of 1 in 3.6 years compared to 1 in 37 years initially reported in GCN 24442. Using the updated background model, the classification of the event, in order of descending probability, is estimated to be: Terrestrial (58%), BNS (42%), NSBH (<1%), BBH (<1%), or MassGap (<1%). Further analysis of the event is ongoing. Updates will be provided as and when available.
