S190425z

S190425z Sky Map

LIGO and Virgo team members estimate that the candidate gravitational signal referred to as S190425z originated from the region outlined on the sky map. The signal likely came from two colliding neutron stars. Because only LIGO Livingston and Virgo saw the signal (LIGO Hanford was offline at the time), its localization was not very precise, covering about 18 percent of the sky.
