@LIGOLA @ego_virgo @ESA_Integral @KAGRA_PR After much analysis, @LIGO & @ego_virgo announce #S190425z as a detection #GW190425
Paper: https://dcc.ligo.org/LIGO-P190425/public
The source may be the heaviest binary neutron star system ever observed

Our first gravitational-wave detection of O3: #S190425z has levelled up to #GW190425 cplberry.com/2020/01/06/gw190425-firs...
@LIGOLA @ego_virgo @ESA_Integral @KAGRA_PR A refined localization for binary neutron star candidate #S190425z from LALInference https://gcn.gsfc.nasa.gov/gcn3/24228.gcn3 The 90% area is now only 7500 sq deg (still huge). We'll continue to analyse the data to better understand the...
@ego_virgo @LIGOWA @LIGOLA Here is the initial sky map for candidate #S190426c. THe red areas are more probable. We have data from all three detectors, so this is much better than for #S190425z. If real, this could be a binary neutron star or a neutron star–black hole, either could...
@LIGOLA @ego_virgo The GCN Archive contains messages sent about this event under #S190425z https://gcn.gsfc.nasa.gov/gcn3_archive.html So far @ESA_Integral has found a couple of potential gamma-ray sources, but we don't know if they're definitely associated yet!...
@LIGOLA @ego_virgo The Circular for #S190425z is https://gcn.gsfc.nasa.gov/gcn3/24168.gcn3
It explains that sine the signal-to-noise ratio in Virgo is low, the sky localization is worse than usual. It is not impossible that this would improve in the future, but I wouldn't bank on it
Good morning! Here's a new #GravitationalWave candidate #S190425z https://gracedb.ligo.org/superevents/S190425z/
If real, it could be a *binary neutron star merger* at around 155 Mpc
