"message_text": "The LIGO Scientific Collaboration, the Virgo Collaboration, and the KAGRA Collaboration report:\n\nWe identified the compact binary merger candidate S250827fo during real-time processing of data from LIGO Hanford Observatory (H1), LIGO Livingston Observatory (L1), and Virgo Observatory (V1) at 2025-08-27 22:49:40.311 UTC (GPS time: 1440370198.311). The candidate was found by the cWB BBH [1], GstLAL [2], MBTA [3], PyCBC Live [4], and SPIIR [5] analysis pipelines.\n\nS250827fo is an event of interest because its false alarm rate, as estimated by the online analysis, is 2.3e-11 Hz, or about one in 1e3 years. The event's properties can be found at this URL:\n\nhttps://gracedb.ligo.org/superevents/S250827fo\n\nThe classification of the GW signal, in order of descending probability, is BBH (>99%), Terrestrial (<1%), BNS (<1%), or NSBH (<1%).\n\nNoise transients (glitches) were present in LIGO Livingston detector data within a second of the event time, which may affect the parameters or the significance of the candidate.\n\nAssuming the candidate is astrophysical in origin, the probability that at least one of the compact objects is consistent with a neutron star mass (HasNS) is <1%. [6] Using the masses and spins inferred from the signal, the probability of matter outside the final compact object (HasRemnant) is <1%. [6] Both HasNS and HasRemnant consider the support of several neutron star equations of state for maximum neutron star mass. The probability that either of the binary components lies between 3 and 5 solar masses (HasMassGap) is 6%.\n\nThe source chirp mass falls with highest probability in the bin (5.5, 11.0) solar masses, assuming the candidate is astrophysical in origin.\n\nTwo sky maps are available at this time and can be retrieved from the GraceDB event page:\n * bayestar.multiorder.fits,0, an initial localization generated by BAYESTAR [7], distributed via GCN and SCiMMA notices about 31 seconds after the candidate event time.\n * bayestar.multiorder.fits,1, an initial localization generated by BAYESTAR [7], distributed via GCN and SCiMMA notices about 5 minutes after the candidate event time.\n\nThe preferred sky map at this time is bayestar.multiorder.fits,1. For the bayestar.multiorder.fits,1 sky map, the 90% credible region is 967 deg2. Marginalized over the whole sky, the a posteriori luminosity distance estimate is 1064 +/- 295 Mpc (a posteriori mean +/- standard deviation).\n\nFor further information about analysis methodology and the contents of this alert, refer to the LIGO/Virgo/KAGRA Public Alerts User Guide https://emfollow.docs.ligo.org/.\n\n [1] T.

"message_text": "IceCube Collaboration (http://icecube.wisc.edu/) reports:\n\nWe have performed a search for track-like muon neutrino candidate events detected by IceCube consistent with the sky localization of the low-significance gravitational-wave candidate event S250902av in a time range of 1000 seconds centered on the alert event time (2025-09-02T07:01:18.83 UTC to 2025-09-02T07:17:58.83 UTC) [1,2]. During this time period, IceCube was collecting good quality data. A single hypothesis test was conducted using a Bayesian approach to quantify the joint GW + neutrino event significance, which assumes a binary merger scenario and accounts for known astrophysical priors, such as GW source distance, in the statistical significance estimation [3]. \n\nOne track-like event was found in spatial and temporal coincidence with the gravitational-wave candidate S250902av calculated from the map circulated in the S250902av-2-Preliminary notice. This represents an overall p-value of 5.1e-03 for the Bayesian search. The p-value measures the consistency of the observed track-like events with the known atmospheric backgrounds for this single map (not accounting for statistical trials from multiple GW events). \n\nFurther details are available at https://gcn.nasa.gov/missions/icecube and at https://roc.icecube.wisc.edu/public/LvkNuTrackSearch.\n\nProperties of the coincident event are shown below:\n\n dt(s) RA(deg) Dec(deg) Angular uncertainty(deg) p-value(Bayesian)\n-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------\n 134.47 15.51\t 24.37 \t1.54\t\t\t0.00533\n\nwhere:\ndt = Time of track event minus time of GW trigger (sec)\nAngular uncertainty = Angular uncertainty of track event: the radius of a circle \n representing 90% CL containment by area.\np-value = the p-value for this specific track event from this search.\n\nThe IceCube Neutrino Observatory is a cubic-kilometer neutrino detector operating at the \ngeographic South Pole, Antarctica.

The p-value measures the consistency of the observed track-like events with the known atmospheric backgrounds for this single map (not accounting for statistical trials from multiple GW events). \n\nFurther details are available at https://gcn.nasa.gov/missions/icecube and at https://roc.icecube.wisc.edu/public/LvkNuTrackSearch.\n\nProperties of the coincident event are shown below:\n\n dt(s) RA(deg) Dec(deg) Angular uncertainty(deg) p-value(Bayesian)\n-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------\n 134.47 15.51\t 24.37 \t1.54\t\t\t0.00533\n\nwhere:\ndt = Time of track event minus time of GW trigger (sec)\nAngular uncertainty = Angular uncertainty of track event: the radius of a circle \n representing 90% CL containment by area.\np-value = the p-value for this specific track event from this search.\n\nThe IceCube Neutrino Observatory is a cubic-kilometer neutrino detector operating at the \ngeographic South Pole, Antarctica. The IceCube realtime alert point of contact can be \nreached at roc@icecube.wisc.edu\n\n[1] M. G. Aartsen et al 2020 ApJL 898 L10\n[2] Abbasi et al. Astrophys.J. 944 (2023) 1, 80\n[3] I.

"message_text": "The LIGO Scientific Collaboration, the Virgo Collaboration, and the KAGRA Collaboration report:\n\nWe identified the compact binary merger candidate S250830m during real-time processing of data from LIGO Hanford Observatory (H1) and LIGO Livingston Observatory (L1) at 2025-08-30 03:27:09.028 UTC (GPS time: 1440559647.028). The candidate was found by the Aframe [1], cWB [2], cWB BBH [3], GstLAL [4], MBTA [5], PyCBC Live [6], and SPIIR [7] analysis pipelines.\n\nS250830m is an event of interest because its false alarm rate, as estimated by the online analysis, is 1.2e-08 Hz, or about one in 2 years. The event's properties can be found at this URL:\n\nhttps://gracedb.ligo.org/superevents/S250830m\n\nThe classification of the GW signal, in order of descending probability, is BBH (98%), Terrestrial (2%), BNS (<1%), or NSBH (<1%).\n\nAssuming the candidate is astrophysical in origin, the probability that at least one of the compact objects is consistent with a neutron star mass (HasNS) is <1%. [8] Using the masses and spins inferred from the signal, the probability of matter outside the final compact object (HasRemnant) is <1%. [8] Both HasNS and HasRemnant consider the support of several neutron star equations of state for maximum neutron star mass. The probability that either of the binary components lies between 3 and 5 solar masses (HasMassGap) is <1%.\n\nThe source chirp mass falls with highest probability in the bin (22.0, 44.0) solar masses, assuming the candidate is astrophysical in origin.\n\nTwo sky maps are available at this time and can be retrieved from the GraceDB event page:\n * amplfi.multiorder.fits,0, an initial localization generated by AMPLFI [9], distributed via GCN and SCiMMA notices about 22 seconds after the candidate event time.\n * bayestar.multiorder.fits,0, an initial localization generated by BAYESTAR [10], distributed via GCN and SCiMMA notices about 4 minutes after the candidate event time.\n\nThe preferred sky map at this time is bayestar.multiorder.fits,0. For the bayestar.multiorder.fits,0 sky map, the 90% credible region is 3130 deg2. Marginalized over the whole sky, the a posteriori luminosity distance estimate is 3705 +/- 1112 Mpc (a posteriori mean +/- standard deviation).\n\nFor further information about analysis methodology and the contents of this alert, refer to the LIGO/Virgo/KAGRA Public Alerts User Guide https://emfollow.docs.ligo.org/.\n\n [1] Marx et al.

"message_text": "The LIGO Scientific Collaboration, the Virgo Collaboration, and the KAGRA Collaboration report:\n\nWe identified the compact binary merger candidate S250830m during real-time processing of data from LIGO Hanford Observatory (H1) and LIGO Livingston Observatory (L1) at 2025-08-30 03:27:09.028 UTC (GPS time: 1440559647.028). The candidate was found by the Aframe [1], cWB [2], cWB BBH [3], GstLAL [4], MBTA [5], PyCBC Live [6], and SPIIR [7] analysis pipelines.\n\nS250830m is an event of interest because its false alarm rate, as estimated by the online analysis, is 1.2e-08 Hz, or about one in 2 years. The event's properties can be found at this URL:\n\nhttps://gracedb.ligo.org/superevents/S250830m\n\nThe classification of the GW signal, in order of descending probability, is BBH (98%), Terrestrial (2%), BNS (<1%), or NSBH (<1%).\n\nAssuming the candidate is astrophysical in origin, the probability that at least one of the compact objects is consistent with a neutron star mass (HasNS) is <1%. [8] Using the masses and spins inferred from the signal, the probability of matter outside the final compact object (HasRemnant) is <1%. [8] Both HasNS and HasRemnant consider the support of several neutron star equations of state for maximum neutron star mass. The probability that either of the binary components lies between 3 and 5 solar masses (HasMassGap) is <1%.\n\nThe source chirp mass falls with highest probability in the bin (22.0, 44.0) solar masses, assuming the candidate is astrophysical in origin.\n\nTwo sky maps are available at this time and can be retrieved from the GraceDB event page:\n * amplfi.multiorder.fits,0, an initial localization generated by AMPLFI [9], distributed via GCN and SCiMMA notices about 22 seconds after the candidate event time.\n * bayestar.multiorder.fits,0, an initial localization generated by BAYESTAR [10], distributed via GCN and SCiMMA notices about 4 minutes after the candidate event time.\n\nThe preferred sky map at this time is bayestar.multiorder.fits,0. For the bayestar.multiorder.fits,0 sky map, the 90% credible region is 3130 deg2. Marginalized over the whole sky, the a posteriori luminosity distance estimate is 3705 +/- 1112 Mpc (a posteriori mean +/- standard deviation).\n\nFor further information about analysis methodology and the contents of this alert, refer to the LIGO/Virgo/KAGRA Public Alerts User Guide https://emfollow.docs.ligo.org/.\n\n [1] Marx et al.

Thakur [1] report:\n\nWe carried out a third epoch of MeerKAT observations on the field of AT2025ulz (Stein et al., GCN 41414), in the localization region of the subthreshold GW event S250818k (LVK Collaboration, GCNs 41437, 41440). Observations at 3 GHz (S4 band) started on 2025-09-13, 12:07 UT (26 days post-trigger) for a total of 4 hours. \n\nGiven the previously reported discrepancies between the data reduction for this target carried out with the SARAO Science Data Processor (SDP) and other pipelines (GCN 41666), we reprocessed the three epochs using also oxkat (Heywood 2020, Astrophysics Source Code Library). While the results of the two pipelines agree for the first and third epochs, we find that the SDP pipeline image of the second epoch exhibited a flux density bias of up to 100% for field sources below ~200 μJy (S/N up to ~30-40), which led us to an incorrect conclusion about the variability of the target (GCN 41594). \n\nThe reprocessed data for the three MeerKAT epochs at 3 GHz show emission at a position consistent with the host galaxy and compatible with a constant flux of ~80+/-10 uJy, thus constraining variability due to a transient. This suggests that the radio source is currently dominated by diffuse emission, likely star formation, by the host galaxy.\n\n\nThe MeerKAT telescope is operated by the South African Radio Astronomy Observatory, which is a facility of the National Research Foundation, an agency of the Department of Science and Innovation.\n—------------------------\n[1] INAF-IAPS\n",

"message_text": "Lauren Rhodes (McGill U.), Oleg Smirnov (Rhodes U. / SARAO), Kunal Mooley (IIT Kanpur, Caltech), Patrick Woudt (U. Cape Town)\n\nWe reprocessed both MeerKAT S-band (3 GHz) datasets of the AT2025ulz (Stein et al., GCN 41414) field reported previously (Bruni et al. GCNs 41594, 41500) in the context of the subthreshold GW event S250818k (LVK Collaboration, GCNs 41437, 41440). Our reprocessing reveals that in both datasets, from Aug 28 (10 days post-GW-event) and Aug 21 (4 days post-GW-event), the source has a constant integrated flux density of ~90+/10 uJy. Thus, we do not find any evidence for radio variability. Further, the extended nature of the radio source indicates that the emission is host galaxy dominated.\n\nWe caution all users of the SARAO Science Data Processor (SDP) continuum pipeline that the pipeline results must be carefully assessed before dissemination across the astronomical community. In the Aug 28 SDP images, there were large-scale artefacts, likely RFI-induced, that may be responsible for the excess flux measurement reported in GCN 41594.\n\nThe MeerKAT telescope is operated by the South African Radio Astronomy Observatory, which is a facility of the National Research Foundation, an agency of the Department of Science and Innovation.\n\n\n",

A series of 4x700 s exposures were taken for this observation.\n\nFrom a preliminary reduction, extraction of a spectrum at the position of SN 2025ulz reveals a continuum well detected over the full wavelength range of 5000 to 9000 Å. The spectrum shows a prominent broad feature which we interpret as a P-Cygni profile of the H-alpha line, similar to that observed in young type II or IIb supernovae. The peak of the emission and the absorption trough is consistent with the host galaxy redshift of z = 0.0848 (ENGRAVE GCN 41476, Karambelkar et al., GCN 41436) and an expansion velocity of around 12,000 km/s. There is weaker evidence for an H-beta P-Cygni profile. Plausible matches to young type II and IIb SNe are found with SNID-SAGE (Stoppa et al. in prep, a new enhanced, python version of SNID), although the transient object continuum is contaminated by the host and the absorption line strengths are therefore diluted. We suggest that SN 2025ulz is a type II supernova (of unconfirmed subtype at this point) and is therefore unrelated to S250818k.\n\nWe acknowledge the excellent support from the ESO staff in Paranal, in particular Camila de Sa Freitas, Israel Blanchard and Sam Kim.",

Becerra (U Rome) report on behalf of a larger team:\n\nWe observed the field of AT2025ulz/ZTF25abjmnps, reported by Stein et al. (GCN 41414) and possibly associated with the candidate gravitational wave signal S250818k (LVK Collaboration, GCN 41437, 41440) with the Hubble Space Telescope (PI: Troja) starting from 2025-08-22 20:04 UTC (~T_0+4.8 days).\n\nThe observations were carried out with the Wide-Field Camera 3 (WFC3) using the UVIS channel with the F336W filter and the IR channel with the F110W and F160W filters. Due to orbital constraints, we could acquire only short exposures of ~120 s per filter.\n\nAt the location of AT2025ulz we clearly detect a source with preliminary AB magnitudes of:\n\nF110W = 22.91 +/- 0.12\nF160W = 22.8 +/- 0.3 (partial result based on 60 s exposure)\nF336W = 23.9 +/ -0.4\n\nThe above values were derived from aperture photometry after subtracting a 2D GALFIT (Peng et al. 2004) model for the host galaxy, and are not corrected for Galactic extinction. \n\nThe source is resolved in our nIR images and offset from the galactic center by ~0.9 arcsec, corresponding to a projected physical offset of ~1.5 kpc. The measured nIR brightness matches well the kilonova AT2017gfo placed at the same distance of 388 Mpc. However, the blue color implied by the F336W observations is not consistent with a kilonova spectrum. \n\nAt present we cannot determine whether the F336W flux is mostly dominated by the transient’s light, e.g. a rising supernova, or by host emission, e.g. underlying star-formation or a young star cluster. While the bulk of the galaxy is not detected in F336W, a star forming clump is still possible, and a clump is seen in the IR filters at the southern edge of the disk. Continued monitoring of the source is encouraged to assess its variability. \n\nWe thank the HST staff, in particular Julia Roman-Duval, Patricia Royle, and William Januszweski for the rapid execution of these observations.\n\n",

In the g-band, no source is detected in the difference image. The i-band difference image reveals a positive source at the location of AT2025ulz/ZTF25abjmnps. This positive detection corresponds to an increase in brightness of 0.63+/-0.09 microJanksy, which indicates rising emission in i-band at this phase.\n\nFurther observations are planned and additional follow-up is encouraged to further monitor the transient’s evolution.\n\nWe thank the staff of the Gemini Observatory, in particular Jen Andrews, Brian Lemaux, and Jen Miller, for their excellent support in rapidly scheduling these observations.

Nuttall, D. Pollacco, J. Casares Velazquez, T. Killestein report on behalf of the GOTO collaboration:\n\nWe report on observations with the Gravitational-wave Optical Transient Observer (GOTO; Steeghs et al. 2022; Dyer et al. 2024) in response to the LIGO/Virgo/KAGRA low-significance event S250818k (The LIGO-Virgo-KAGRA Collaboration, GCN 41437). \n\nAs part of our strategy for LVK O4 follow-up, targeted observations of the event between 2025-08-18 01:22:29 UT (2.4 minutes post-trigger) and 2025-08-21 05:29:32 UT (76.2 hours post trigger) with GOTO-North and between 2025-08-18 08:34:23 UT (7.2 hours post-trigger) and 2025-08-19 09:29:09 UT (32.2 hours post-trigger) with GOTO-South.\n\nWe covered a total of 521.4 deg2 (46.0%) of the localisation probability of the Bilby skymap (The LIGO-Virgo-KAGRA Collaboration, GCN 41440). Exposures were taken in L-band (400-700 nm passband) and the average 5 sigma depth was L = 19.95 AB magnitudes with GOTO-1 (North), L = 19.74 AB with GOTO-2 (North), L = 19.05 AB with GOTO-3 (South), and L = 19.70 AB with GOTO-4 (South).\n\nImages were processed immediately after acquisition using the GOTO pipeline. Difference imaging was performed using recent survey observations of the same pointings. Source candidates were initially filtered using a classifier (Killestein et al. 2021) and cross-matched against a variety of contextual and minor planet catalogs. Human vetting was carried out in real time on any candidates that passed the above checks. \n\nNo significant counterpart sources that can be associated with S250818k have been identified. We do not detect emission of the candidate counterpart AT 2025ulz/ZTF25abjmnps (Stein et al. GCN 41414; Hall et al. GCN 41433; Karambelkar et al. GCN 41436; O’Connor et al. GCN 41452) down to a 3-sigma limiting magnitude of L = 20.3 AB at 2025-08-18 20:53:41 UTC (~19.6 hours post-trigger).\n\nMagnitudes were calibrated using ATLAS-REFCAT2 (Tonry et al. 2018) and not corrected for Galactic extinction.\n\nGOTO (https://goto-observatory.org) is a network of telescopes that is principally funded by the STFC and operated at the Roque de los Muchachos Observatory on La Palma, Spain, and Siding Spring Observatory in NSW, Australia, on behalf of a consortium including the University of Warwick, Monash University, Armagh Observatory & Planetarium, the University of Leicester, the University of Sheffield, the National Astronomical Research Institute of Thailand (NARIT), the University of Turku, the University of Portsmouth, the University of Manchester and the Instituto de Astrofisica de Canarias (IAC).\n",

Wu (PMO) report on behalf of the WFST Collaboration:\n \nWe report the pre-discovery upper limits and follow-up photometry results of AT2025ulz/ZTF25abjmnps reported by Stein et al. (GCN 41414), possibly associated with the sub-threshold gravitational wave (GW) event S250818k (GCN 41437), using the Wide Field Survey Telescope (WFST Collaboration; Wang et al., 2023).\n \nAfter checking WFST archive data, we found u- and g-band 30s exposures taken at MJD 60901.66, about 3.4 days prior to the GW event trigger. The images were processed with the WFST pipeline, using stacked WFST multi-exposures taken in February 2025 as templates. We do not found any residuals in difference images in the two bands. We report the following pre-discovery 3-sigma upper limits and time since the S20250818k trigger (t-t0):\n \nMJD t-t0 (days) AB mag Band\n60901.64 -3.42 > 22.1 u\n60901.67 -3.38 > 22.4 g\n \nWe conducted WFST follow-up observations of AT2025ulz with 120s exposures in g and r bands and a 180s exposure in u band beginning at 2025-08-20T14:24:03 UTC. After image subtraction, a clear source was detected in g band, and faint sources detected in u and r bands, which are close to the detection limit. The preliminary AB magnitudes of AT2025ulz are (all photometries are not corrected for Galactic extinction):\n \nMJD t-t0 (days) AB mag Band\n60907.60 2.54 22.71+/-0.10 g\n60907.61 2.55 22.78+/-0.16 r\n60907.65 2.59 23.24+/-0.24 u\n \nThe g-r and u-g color from WFST observations are approximately -0.1 mag and 0.5 mag, respectively, which became bluer compared with the previous reports (Hall et al., GCN 41433; O’Connor et al., GCN 41452; Gillanders et al., GCN 41454). Additionally, our results show a re-brightening trend for AT2025ulz, which may be related to the shock-cooling process mentioned in Gillanders et al. (GCN 41454). We also note that AT2025ulz is significantly more luminous than AT 2017gfo at the same phase, especially in g and u bands assuming a host redshift 0.0848 reported by Karambelkar et al. (GCN 41436). The angular separations between the detected source in g band and the host center are approximately 0.85 and 0.83 arcseconds using host coordinates in PS1 DR2 (Chambers et al., 2016) and SDSS DR16 (Ahumada et al., 2020), respectively. Given the close distance between the source and the bright host nucleus, and the peculiar photometric evolution in the past 24 hours, we suggest that the variability might be influenced by the host-nuclear activity. Further deep multiband imaging follow-ups are highly encouraged.\n",

GCN 41421, Hall et al. GCN 41433), we carried out observations in the grizY filters with GMOS-N under photometric observing conditions starting at 2025-08-20 05:29:56 UT. This corresponds to 2.17 days after the gravitational wave detection (GCN 41437). \n\nA visual inspection reveals that the transient is significantly detected on top of the host galaxy. The source is clearly off-nuclear, but lies on top of the galaxy’s disk. We performed difference imaging with respect to Legacy Survey templates that further reveal the source. The brightness of the transient is g~23.0 AB mag and r~22.6 AB mag. The photometry is not correct for Galactic extinction. \n\nOur data reveals continued rapid fading and reddening of the transient in the 9.4 hours following the FTW report (Hall et al. GCN 41433). This would imply a steepening of the fade rate in g-band. We caution that the galaxy appears over subtracted in our difference imaging, which may affect the preliminary photometry.

Parameter estimation has been performed using Bilby [1] and a new sky map, Bilby.offline0.multiorder.fits,0, distributed via GCN and SCiMMA notices, is available for retrieval from the GraceDB event page:\n\nhttps://gracedb.ligo.org/superevents/S250818k\n\nBased on posterior support from parameter estimation [1], under the assumption that the candidate S250818k is astrophysical in origin, the probability that at least one of the compact objects is consistent with a neutron star mass above one solar mass (HasNS) is 80%. [2] Using the masses and spins inferred from the signal, the probability of matter outside the final compact object (HasRemnant) is 80%. [2] HasRemnant is assumed to be zero when the heavier component mass is below 1 solar mass. Both HasNS and HasRemnant consider the support of several neutron star equations of state for maximum neutron star mass. The probability that either of the binary components lies between 3 and 5 solar masses (HasMassGap) is 7%. The probability that the lighter compact object is below 1 solar mass (HasSSM) is >99%.\n\nThe source chirp mass falls with highest probability in the bin (0.1, 0.87) solar masses after parameter estimation [1], assuming the candidate is astrophysical in origin.\n\nFor the Bilby.offline0.multiorder.fits,0 sky map, the 90% credible region is 949 deg2. Marginalized over the whole sky, the a posteriori luminosity distance estimate is 237 +/- 62 Mpc (a posteriori mean +/- standard deviation).\n\nFor further information about analysis methodology and the contents of this alert, refer to the LIGO/Virgo/KAGRA Public Alerts User Guide https://emfollow.docs.ligo.org/.\n\n [1] Ashton et al.

Hall (CMU) report on behalf of the larger ZTF and GROWTH collaborations\n\nWe observed ZTF25abjmnps (AT2025ulz; Stein et al. GCN 41414) starting UTC 2025-08-19 06:42 with the LRIS spectrograph on Keck I. We derive a redshift of 0.0848 based on host galaxy emission lines - this is consistent with the 3D GW localization for S250818k. Subtracting host galaxy light, we see a blue continuum excess from the transient, and no tell-tale supernova-like features. The data in-hand thus far appears consistent with a kilonova. However, continued monitoring (such as Busmann et al. GCN 41421, Hall et al. GCN 41433) is encouraged to rule out any future re-brightening from a faint and fast supernova Type IIb (e.g., Barna et al. 2025, arXiv:2506.15900). Panchromatic follow-up is ongoing and encouraged.\n",

"message_text": "\nV.M. Lipunov, (Lomonosov MSU),\n\n\nIn several recent telegrams (GCN 41532, 41538) the nature of the AT2025ulz/ZTF25abjmnps source is discussed. An alternative between the KN and SN II models has emerged. The unusual observable properties of the optical flare are emphasized. This alternative seems strange. For example, where can SN II appear in an elliptical galaxy?\n\nIn this regard, I propose to include a third possible model, namely the merger of two heavy white dwarfs (O-Ne-Mg dwarfs) turning into a neutron star - a dumbbell with powerful radiation of gravitational waves [1].\n\nAs was shown earlier, such a phenomenon can generate an unusual form of gravitational wave impulse, which can be taken for a phenomenon caused by a terrestrial artifact. Is this not related to the fact that the initial probability of a terrestrial nature turned out to be more than 70%?\n\n\n[1] Lipunov V.M., Double O-Ne-Mg white dwarfs merging as the source of the powerful gravitational waves for LIGO/VIRGO type interferometers., New Astronomy, Volume 56, p. 84-85, 2017 https://doi.org/10.1016/j.newast.2017.04.013\n",

The observations with BTA 6-meter telescope of SAO RAS started on 2025-08-22 at 17:18:46 UT, i.e. ~4.67 days since LVK trigger. We obtained 2.4 ks exposure in the z'-band using the Scorpio-2 multi-mode focal reducer (Afanasiev & Moiseev, 2011, BaltA, 20, 363) installed in the prime focus of the telescope. We applied image subtraction using LS DR10 z-band image as reference. We clearly detect the optical source in the difference image at the position given by ZTF (Stein et. al, GCN 41414).

The images were processed with the Pan-STARRS pipeline. After astrometric and photometric calibration, reference images were subtracted from the target stacked images (Magnier et al., 2020a, ApJS, 251, 3; Magnier et al., 2020b, ApJS, 251, 6; Waters et al., 2020, ApJS, 251, 4).\n\nFrom these difference images, we measure the following preliminary AB magnitudes, from averages of all forced photometry from the two GPC1 and GPC2 cameras:\n\nMJD t-t0 (days) Filter AB mag\n60907.30 2.25 g 22.9 +/- 0.4\n60907.31 2.26 r 22.2 +/- 0.2\n60907.33 2.27 i 21.8 +/- 0.2\n60907.34 2.28 z 21.4 +/- 0.2\n\nHere, t0 corresponds to the GW trigger time (LVK Collaboration, GCN 41437).\n\nOur difference imaging and photometric measurements indicate a consistent flux excess at the position of AT2025ulz (Stein et al., GCN 41414), although we note that these current magnitude estimates are derived from difference images generated with reference images shallower than the target images (900s vs. ~300s, respectively). We caution these are preliminary, given the differencing issues and the closeness of the source to the bright nucleus and body of the host. \n\nComparing our current Pan-STARRS gr-band data to that previously reported by Busmann et al. (GCN 41421) and Hall et al. (GCN 41433), we find that AT2025ulz appears to have faded further, if both sets of photometry are accurate. \n\nWe can certainly conclude that no re-brightening (which may be expected in SNe IIb or shock cooling) is yet taking place. \n\nWork is ongoing to generate a deeper reference image, and thus improved magnitude estimates. Further multi-band observations are scheduled.",

Using a power-law with nH=2.2E+20 and a photon index=2, we convert the count rate into an unabsorbed flux of 1.5e-13 erg/cm2/s, which corresponds to a luminosity of 3e42 erg/s at z=0.0848 (Karambelkar et al.

(GCN 41414) possible counterpart to the LVK sub-threshold event S250818k (GCN 41437, 41440), with the Three Channel Imager (3KK) at the Fraunhofer Telescope at Wendelstein Observatory (FTW) in the g, i, and J bands simultaneously starting at 2025-08-24T19:33:25 for 20 x 180 s with a few interruptions due to clouds. The difference imaging with templates from the Legacy Survey for the g-band and PS1 for the i-band, we report that AT 2025ulz has g - i ~ 1.7 AB mag.\n\nWe note our differenced i-band brightness is consistent with observations reported by Freeburn et al. (GCN 41507) and Angulo et al. (GCN 41518).\n\nThe magnitudes are calibrated against the PS1 catalog and not corrected for Galactic extinction.\n\nFurther analysis is underway.\n\nWe thank Christoph Ries from the Wendelstein Observatory staff for obtaining these observations.",

Stubbs (Harvard).\n\nWe surveyed the skymap of the gravitational wave event S250818k (LVK Collaboration, GCNs 41437, 41440) using the Pan-STARRS twin telescope system (Chambers et al., 2016, arXiv e-prints, 1612.05560). Following on from the reported optical candidate AT2025ulz (Stein et al., GCN 41414; Busmann et al., GCN 41421; Hall et al., GCN 41433; Karambelkar et al., GCN 41436; O’Connor et al., GCN 41452; Gillanders et al., GCN 41454; Liu et al., GCN 41461; Perley et al., GCN 41480, D’Avanzo et al. GCN 41489), we have been taking targeted grizy imaging of this transient (Gillanders et al., GCN 41454). At this specific region we have proprietary data to make significantly deeper reference stacks than those that are available through the STScI public website, and monitoring with Pan-STARRS is ongoing.\n\nFor the rest of the northern portion of the GW skymap, we surveyed the region in the i-band over three nights: 2025 Aug 20, 21, 22. We covered ~288 square degrees and ~33% of the bilby.fits skymap 90% area each night, with multiple 45s (Aug 20) and 120s (Aug 21, 22) exposures. The images were processed with the Pan-STARRS pipeline. After astrometric and photometric calibration, reference images were subtracted from the target stacked images (Magnier et al., 2020a, ApJS, 251, 3; Magnier et al., 2020b, ApJS, 251, 6; Waters et al., 2020, ApJS, 251, 4). Transient candidates were identified and run through our standard filtering procedures, including rejection of artefacts with machine learning tools and cross-matching with galaxy, stellar and solar-system catalogs (e.g., Smith et al., 2020, PASP, 132, 1; Smartt et al., 2024, MNRAS 528, 2299).\n\nThe depth of our images are typically i ~ 21 - 21.5 per exposure, with the first night having better seeing and transparency conditions. We detected 68 candidate extragalactic transients, of which 30 were already registered on the IAU Transient Name Server (TNS) as having been discovered and detected before S250818k merger time. We have registered the other 38 sources on the TNS. To down-select for optical counterpart candidates of S250818k, we applied the following filters:\n\n 1. Spatially associated with a host galaxy that has a photometric or spectroscopic redshift within the 2-sigma limit from LVK of 0.025 < z < 0.08,\n 2. Has some indication of lightcurve evolution over the three nights of observation,\n 3. We rejected all faint transients spatially coincident with the nucleus of galaxies as being due to either AGN variability or possible subtraction artefacts.\n\nWe found no plausible candidate for the optical counterpart of S250818k other than AT2025ulz. Six sources with plausible kilonova-like absolute magnitudes and in hosts with consistent redshifts (within errors) with S250818k were found (AT2025uuw, AT2025uso, AT2025uuf, AT2025utr, AT2025usy, AT2025uxs), but their lightcurves are either rising or are flat and show no evolution over 48hrs, and they do not appear to be viable candidates at this point. Discovery details and magnitudes of the ATs can be found on the TNS.\n\nOperation of the Pan-STARRS1 and Pan-STARRS2 telescopes is primarily supported by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration under Grant No. NNX12AR65G and NNX14AM74G, issued through the SSO Near-Earth Object Observations Program. Data processing is enabled by Queen's University Belfast and the University of Oxford, enabled through STFC grants ST/Y001605/1, ST/T000198/1 and ST/X001253/1, the Royal Society, and the Hintze Centre for Astrophysical Surveys.",

"message_text": "G. Waratkar (IITB), V. Bhalerao (IITB), D. Bhattacharya (Ashoka University/IUCAA), A. R. Rao (TIFR), S. Vadawale (PRL) report on behalf of the AstroSat CZTI collaboration:\n\nWe have carried a search [1] for X-ray candidates in Astrosat CZTI data in a 100 sec window around the trigger time of the event S250818k (UTC 2025-08-18 01:20:06; LVK Collaboration, GCN Circ. 41437). We use the Bilby.offline0.multiorder.fits,0 map (https://gracedb.ligo.org/api/superevents/S250818k/files/Bilby.offline0.multiorder.fits,0) for our analysis. \n\nCZTI is a coded aperture mask instrument that has considerable effective area for about 29% of the entire sky, but is also sensitive to brighter transients from the entire sky. At the time of the merger, Astrosat's nominal pointing is RA,DEC = 00:46:53.8, 42:11:36.4 (11.7242,42.1934), which is ~88 deg away from the maximum probability location, which severely reduces the effective area of CZTI. At the time of the merger event, the Earth-satellite-transient angle corresponding to maximum probability location is ~33 deg and hence is occulted by Earth in satellite's frame. In a time interval of 100 sec around the event, the region of the localisation map which is not occulted by Earth in the satellite's frame has a total probability of 0.59 (59%).\n\nWe note that the source AT 2025ulz (Stein et al., GCN Circ. 41414) was occulted behind Earth for AstroSat at the time of the merger event. \n\nCZTI data were de-trended to remove orbit-wise background variation. We then searched data from three of the four independent, identical quadrants to look for coincident spikes in the count rates. Quadrant C being noisy was excluded from further analysis. Searches were undertaken by binning the data in 0.1s, 1s, and 10s respectively. Statistical fluctuations in background count rates were estimated by using data from 5 preceding orbits. We selected confidence levels such that the probability of a false trigger in a 100 sec window is 10^-3, after excluding one noisy quadrant. We do not find any evidence for any hard X-ray transient in this window, in the CZTI energy range of 20-200 keV.\n\nWe use a detailed mass model of the satellite to calculate the direction-dependent instrument response for points in the visible sky. We then assume the source is modelled as a power law with photon index alpha = -1, and convert our count rate upper limits to direction-dependent flux limits. We obtain the following upper limits for source flux in the 20-200 keV band by taking a probability weighted mean over the visible sky:\n\n| Bin (s) | Flux Limit (ergs/cm^2/s) | Fluence Limit (ergs/cm^2) |\n|---------|--------------------------|---------------------------|\n| 0.1 | 1.47e-06 | 1.47e-07 |\n| 1.0 | 3.78e-07 | 3.78e-07 |\n| 10.0 | 8.00e-08 | 8.00e-07 |\n\nCZTI is built by a TIFR-led consortium of institutes across India, including VSSC, URSC, IUCAA, SAC, and PRL. The Indian Space Research Organisation funded, managed, and facilitated the project.\n\nCZTI EMGW detections are reported regularly on the payload site at: http://astrosat.iucaa.in/czti/?q=emgw\n\n[1] Waratkar et al.

Thakur [1] report:\n\nWe observed the field of AT2025ulz (announced by Stein et al., GCN 41414), which is proposed as a candidate counterpart for the subthreshold GW event S250818k (LVK Collaboration, GCNs 41437, 41440) with the MeerKAT radio telescope under the program SCI-20241101-GB-01 (PI: Bruni) at 3 GHz (S4 band) starting on Aug 21, 16:30 UT (at 3.6 days post-trigger) for a total of 2 hours (1.5 hours on source). J1939-6342 was used for flux scale calibration, and J1609+2641 for phase referencing. Data was processed with the SARAO Science Data Processor (SDP) continuum pipeline. The image RMS was 6.4 uJy/beam.\n\nWe detect radio emission at the position of the transient, and we measure an integrated flux density of 77 +/- 16 uJy (corresponding to a ~ 10-sigma detection). However, given the northern declination of the field, the angular resolution is insufficient to disentangle any potential contamination from the host with this epoch of observation alone.\n\nFurther MeerKAT observations are planned.\n\nThe MeerKAT telescope is operated by the South African Radio Astronomy Observatory, which is a facility of the National Research Foundation, an agency of the Department of Science and Innovation.\n—------------------------\n[1] INAF-IAPS\n",

Kasliwal (Caltech), Viraj Karambelkar (Caltech), Michael Lundquist (WMKO), Xander Hall (CMU), Tomas Ahumada (Caltech), Kritti Sharma (Caltech), and Sam Rose (Caltech) report on behalf of the larger ZTF and GROWTH collaboration:\n \nThe location of AT2025ulz (ZTF25abjmnps; Stein et al., GCN 41414), a candidate counterpart to S250818k (LVK Collaboration, GCNs 41437, 41440), was imaged using the Low-Resolution Imaging Spectrometer (LRIS) on the Keck I 10m Telescope on the consecutive nights of 2025 August 20 and 21 (UT), simultaneously in g-band and i-band on each night. On the first night weather conditions were good, and two exposures of 30s each were acquired in each band starting at 2025-08-20 07:04 UT. The weather was cloudy on the second night. Three 300s exposures were taken, but due to highly variable atmospheric extinction only the highest-transmission image (starting at 2025-08-21 07:45 UT) was used for this analysis. The 5-sigma limiting magnitudes of the images are g>24.8, i>23.9 (08-20) and g>23.9, i>23.2 (08-21).\n\nWhile determining the magnitude of the transient is limited by the depth of available reference images, we performed difference imaging between the two nights in each band. Subtracting the 08-20 image from the 08-21 image in each filter, there is a clear detection of a negative point source at the reported location of the transient in the g-band difference image, but no significant residual flux in the i-band difference image. The difference flux at the transient position from forced photometry is -1.60 +/- 0.20 microJy (g-band) and +0.31 +/- 0.38 microJy (i-band). This suggests the transient is still rapidly fading in g-band, and likely reddening in g-i color. This observation is consistent with the kilonova hypothesis and inconsistent with the re-brightening proposed by Liu et al. (GCN 41461).",

Hall (CMU) report,\n\nOn behalf of the Zwicky Transient Facility (ZTF) and Global Relay of Observatories Watching Transients Happen (GROWTH) collaborations: \n\nWe observed the localization region of the LVK trigger S250818k with the Palomar 48-inch telescope, equipped with the 47 square degree ZTF camera (Bellm et al. 2019, Graham et al. 2019). We started observations in the g- and r-band beginning at 2025-08-18 04:02 UTC, approximately 2.7 hours after merger. We covered 25.2% (168.3 sq deg) of the reported localization region. This estimate accounts for chip gaps. Each exposure was 300s with a typical depth of 22 mag. \n \nThe images were processed in real-time through the ZTF reduction and image subtraction pipelines at IPAC to search for potential counterparts (Masci et al. 2019). AMPEL (Nordin et al. 2019, Stein et al. 2021) was used to search the alerts database for candidates. We reject stellar sources (Tachibana and Miller 2018) and moving objects, and apply machine learning algorithms (Mahabal et al. 2019) , and removing candidates with history of variability prior to the merger time. \n\nWe are left with 58 transient candidates, all lying within the 95.0% localization of the skymap. We perform additional vetting of these candidates, and identify those which appear to be hosted in galaxies at plausible redshifts for S250818k.\n\nWe highlight one of these candidates, ZTF25abjmnps/AT2025ulz.\n\n+--------------------------------------------------------------------------------+\n| ZTF Name | IAU Name | RA (deg) | DEC (deg) | Filter | Mag | MagErr |\n+--------------------------------------------------------------------------------+\n| ZTF25abjmnps | AT2025ulz | 237.9757129 | +30.9023146 | r | 21.29 | 0.13 |\n+--------------------------------------------------------------------------------+\n\nZTF25abjmnps is in an elliptical galaxy with a Legacy Survey photometric redshift of z = 0.091 +/- 0.016, is therefore consistent with the estimated distance of S250818k. The lower 95th percentile limit of the photoz is 0.057, and at this distance S250818k would have an absolute g-band peak magnitude of M=-16.1. However, the higher redshifts would be more consistent with a supernova luminosity of M=-17. \n\nForced photometry of this source reveals several detections in our data. The source appears to possibly be fading in g-band, but given the low SNR and short baseline it is difficult to constrain this.\n\nThere are also several recent non-detections, but all upper limits are shallower than the magnitude of the transient in our images. We therefore cannot confirm whether the source is young, or if it predates the merger.\n\nWe encourage observations of ZTF25abjmnps, to determine the nature of this source. \n\nAnalysis of the remaining ZTF candidates is ongoing.\n\nBased on observations obtained with the Samuel Oschin Telescope 48-inch and the 60-inch Telescope at the Palomar Observatory as part of the Zwicky Transient Facility project.

We adopted the filters r, i, and z (exposure times of 1200, 1200, and 1500 s, respectively).\n\nImage subtraction using the Legacy sky survey as reference reveals a transient at coordinates (J2000):\n\nRA = 15:51:54.19\nDec = +30:54:08.3\n\nwith an estimated error of < 0.5\". These are consistent with the ZTF position (Stein et al., GCN 41414). The transient is located 1\" southwest of the nucleus of its host galaxy, at a projected distance of 1.6 kpc (z = 0.0848; Karambelkar et al., GCN 41436; Banerjee et al., GCN 41476). Using nearby calibrators from the Legacy Survey, we obtained a provisional magnitude measurement of r = 23.2 ± 0.2 (AB), at a mean time of 2025 August 20.883 UT. We caution that we expect to refine our results after securing a deep template with the same instrument and filter.\n",

The observations were made as part of regular survey operations in the o-band. During the August 2025 lunation, we have been experimenting with a different cadence and longer exposures. The data on MJD 60903.32 were taken as 4 x 110 sec exposures (compared to 30 sec exposures in normal operations). These longer exposures provide a 3-sigma upper limit of o > 21.6 mag (AB) after stacking the 4 individual measurements. The discovery r-band mag of r = 21.29 +/- 0.13 (Stein et al., GCN 41414) implies a significant 3-sigma rise in 1.74 days, or a new transient appearing on that timescale. \n\nThe Asteroid Terrestrial-impact Last Alert System [ATLAS] project is primarily funded to search for Near-Earth asteroids through NASA grants NN12AR55G, 80NSSC18K0284, and 80NSSC18K1575; byproducts of the NEO search include images and catalogs from the survey area.

The Pan-STARRS system comprises of two 1.8m telescope units located at the summit of Haleakala on the Hawaiian island of Maui, employing an SDSS-like filter system denoted as grizy, and a broad w-filter, which is a composite of the gri-filters. In our primary NASA mission for Near-Earth Object discovery, we scan the visible night sky North of -50 degrees declination to magnitude depths m~22, weather and Moon permitting.\n\nExamining recent data obtained during normal Pan-STARRS survey coverage (see Fulton et al. 2025, MNRAS, 542, 541) at the location of AT2025ulz, we report the following pre-discovery upper limits and time since the S20250818k trigger (t-t0) \n\nDate t-t0 (days) Magnitude Band\n60904.233 -0.82 <19.7 y\n60895.314 -9.7 <21.0 i\n\nWe note that the y-band non-detection was obtained only ~0.8 days before the GW signal. This indicates that there was no bright, red transient at this position less than a day prior.\n\nThe images were processed with the Pan-STARRS pipeline. After astrometric and photometric calibration, reference images were subtracted from the target images (Magnier et al., 2020a, ApJS, 251, 3; Magnier et al., 2020b, ApJS, 251, 6; Waters et al., 2020, ApJS, 251, 4).\n\nFurther Pan-STARRS grizy imaging of this source, and coverage of the S20250818k skymap (northern banana) is underway in the i-band with PS1 and PS2 jointly. \n\nThe discoveries from this program are a byproduct of the Panoramic Survey Telescope and Rapid Response System (Pan-STARRS) NEO survey observations.

Stubbs (Harvard).\n\nWe have been observing the optical transient SN2025ulz (Banerjee et al., GCN 41532), formerly AT2025ulz (Stein et al., GCN 41414), the candidate optical counterpart associated with the sub-threshold gravitational wave event S250818k (LVK Collaboration, GCNs 41437, 41440) using the Pan-STARRS twin telescope system (Chambers et al., 2016, arXiv e-prints, 1612.05560); see also Gillanders et al. (GCN 41454) and Smartt et al. (GCN 41493).\n\nOur observations span grizy-bands, but here we report on the optical re-brightening evident in our i-band observations. On each of MJDs 60909.26, 60910.26, 60911.26 and 60912.26, we observed SN2025ulz for a total exposure time of 1800s. The images were processed with the Pan-STARRS pipeline, where, after astrometric and photometric calibration, reference images were subtracted from the target stacked images (Magnier et al., 2020a, ApJS, 251, 3; Magnier et al., 2020b, ApJS, 251, 6; Waters et al., 2020, ApJS, 251, 4). For this process, we utilise proprietary data to compile significantly deeper reference stacks (~3400s) than those that are publicly available through the STScI website (~300s) and our stacked target images (1800s).\n\nFrom these difference images, we measure the following preliminary AB magnitudes:\n\nMJD t-t0 (days) Filter AB mag\n60909.26 4.2 i 22.4 +/- 0.3\n60910.26 5.2 i 22.5 +/- 0.3\n60911.26 6.2 i 22.1 +/- 0.2\n60912.26 7.2 i 21.6 +/- 0.1\n\nHere, t0 corresponds to the GW trigger time (LVK Collaboration, GCN 41437).\n\nSN2025ulz has risen in our i-band observations by ~0.5 mag (~0.9 mag) in the last one day (two days). While there are barriers to accurately measuring the photometry of this source (e.g., it is relatively faint; it lies close to the bright nucleus and body of the host), our photometry values, and the inferred re-brightening, are robust, given our access to deep reference stacks. We note that these are vital to accurately infer the true brightness of the transient, as performing difference imaging with a shallower reference image can lead to systematic errors (as much as ~0.7 AB mag, in the specific case of SN2025ulz utilising the public reference stack available through the STScI website).\n\nRe-brightening of SN2025ulz has been previously noted by Liu et al. (GCN 41461), Freeburn et al. (GCN 41507) and Angulo et al. (GCN 41518).\n\nOur observed re-brightening supports the interpretation of SN2025ulz being a young SN, based on the VLT spectral observations reported by ENGRAVE (Banerjee et al., GCN 41532). Our consistent i-band rise is likely to suggest it is now on a radioactively powered rise following an initial shock-cooling phase, and thus indicates that SN2025ulz is likely not the optical counterpart to S250818k. \n\nFurther Pan-STARRS observations are continuing to determine if the colour and lightcurve shape remains consistent with a type II or IIb supernova, to compare with the conclusions of Kasliwal et al. (GCN 41538).\n\nOperation of the Pan-STARRS1 and Pan-STARRS2 telescopes is primarily supported by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration under Grant No. NNX12AR65G and NNX14AM74G, issued through the SSO Near-Earth Object Observations Program. Data processing is enabled by Queen's University Belfast and the University of Oxford, enabled through STFC grants ST/Y001605/1, ST/T000198/1 and ST/X001253/1, the Royal Society, and the Hintze Centre for Astrophysical Surveys.",

"message_text": "For S250818k (GCN 41437, LVK Collaboration) and using the updated bayestar skymap, Fermi-GBM was observing 51.0% of the localization probability at event time.\n\nThere was no Fermi-GBM onboard trigger around the event time of the LIGO/Virgo/KAGRA (LVK) detection of GW trigger S250818k . An automated, blind search for short gamma-ray bursts below the onboard triggering threshold in Fermi-GBM also identified no counterpart candidates. The GBM targeted search, the most sensitive, coherent search for GRB-like signals, was run from +/-30 s around merger time, and also identified no counterpart candidates.\n\nPart of the LVK localization region is behind the Earth for Fermi, located at an RA=66.9, Dec=-25.2 with a radius of 68.0 degrees. We therefore set upper limits on impulsive gamma-ray emission for the GW localization region visible to Fermi at merger time. Using the representative soft, normal, and hard GRB-like templates described in arXiv:1612.02395, we set the following 3 sigma flux upper limits over 10-1000 keV, weighted by GW localization probability (in units of 10^-7 erg/s/cm^2):\n\nTimescale Soft Normal Hard \n------------------------------------\n0.128 s: 1.5 \t2.5 \t4.3\n1.024 s: 0.66 0.87 1.5\n8.192 s: 0.22 0.29 0.45\n\nAssuming the median luminosity distance of 259.4 Mpc from the GW detection, we estimate the following intrinsic luminosity upper limits over the 1 keV-10 MeV energy range (in units of 10^50 erg/s):\n\nTimescale Soft Normal Hard\n------------------------------------\n0.128s: 0.018 0.029 0.081\n1.024s: 0.008 0.010 0.028\n8.192s: 0.003 0.003 0.008",

"message_text": "The LIGO Scientific Collaboration, the Virgo Collaboration, and the KAGRA Collaboration (LVK) report:\n\nWe identified the compact binary merger candidate S250818k during real-time processing of data from LIGO Hanford Observatory (H1), LIGO Livingston Observatory (L1), and Virgo Observatory (V1) at 2025-08-18 01:20:06.030 UTC (GPS time: 1439515224.030). The candidate was found by the GstLAL SSM [1] and PyCBC Live [2] analysis pipelines. Two LVK Preliminary GCN Notices were issued within 5 minutes after the candidate was identified.\n\nBased on the analysis of gravitational-wave (GW) data alone, this candidate does not meet our criteria for a high-significance public alert as its false alarm rate is estimated by the online analysis to be 6.8e-08 Hz or about one in 5 months. However, we are issuing this Circular to confirm the properties of the GW candidate because of its potential association with the optical transient ZTF25abjmnps / AT 2025ulz (Stein et al, GCN 41414) which has been confirmed and reported to be fading and reddening rapidly (Busmann et al., GCN 41421; Hall et al., GCN 41433; Karambelkar et al., GCN 41436). The GW candidate’s properties can be found at this URL:\n\nhttps://gracedb.ligo.org/superevents/S250818k\n\nThe classification of the GW candidate, in order of descending probability, is Terrestrial (71%), BNS (29%), NSBH (<1%), or BBH (<1%).\nInitial data quality checks found that there is no evidence for presence of a glitch or other data quality issues.\n\nAssuming the candidate is astrophysical in origin, the probability that at least one of the compact objects is consistent with a neutron star mass (HasNS) is >99%. [3] Using the masses and spins inferred from the signal, the probability of matter outside the final compact object (HasRemnant) is >99%. [3] Both HasNS and HasRemnant consider the support of several neutron star equations of state for maximum neutron star mass. The probability that either of the binary components lies between 3 and 5 solar masses (HasMassGap) is <1%.\n\nThe source chirp mass falls with highest probability in the bin (0.1, 0.87) solar masses, assuming the candidate is astrophysical in origin.\n\nThree sky maps are available at this time and can be retrieved from the GraceDB event page:\n * bayestar.multiorder.fits,0, an initial localization generated by BAYESTAR [4], distributed via GCN and SCiMMA notices about 28 seconds after the candidate event time.\n * bayestar.multiorder.fits,1, an initial localization generated by BAYESTAR [4], distributed via GCN and SCiMMA notices about 5 minutes after the candidate event time.\n * bayestar.multiorder.fits,2, an initial localization generated by BAYESTAR [4], distributed via GCN and SCiMMA notices about 2 days after the candidate event time.\n\nThe preferred sky map at this time is bayestar.multiorder.fits,2. For the bayestar.multiorder.fits,2 sky map, the 90% credible region is 786 deg2. Marginalized over the whole sky, the a posteriori luminosity distance estimate is 259 +/- 74 Mpc (a posteriori mean +/- standard deviation).\n\nFor further information about analysis methodology and the contents of this alert, refer to the LIGO/Virgo/KAGRA Public Alerts User Guide https://emfollow.docs.ligo.org/.\n\n [1] Hanna et al.

The image rms is ~ 23 microJy/beam, resulting in a 5-sigma upper limit of 115 uJy, at an angular resolution of 2.5x2.0 arcsec.\n\nTogether with the VLA 3 GHz non-detection at the position of AT2025ulz (<40 uJy, GCN 41542), our GMRT 1.3 GHz upper limit suggests that the radio emission previously detected with MeerKAT at lower angular resolution may include a contribution from the host galaxy (as already noted in the GCN 41500).\n\nWe thank the GMRT staff for scheduling and executing these observations.

GCN 41414) with the LRIS spectrograph on Keck I. Our latest epoch starts at UTC 2025-08-25 06:50. We reduce the data with lpipe (Perley et al. 2019) and subtract a spectrum at an earlier epoch to understand the evolution (Karambelkar et al. GCN 41436).\n\nAs reported by Banerjee et al. GCN 41532, we also see a feature with an absorption minimum at 6720A. If this is Halpha, this would imply a velocity of 17000 km/s at z=0.0848 (we measure a higher velocity than what was reported in Banerjee et al. GCN 41532). \n\nHowever, we posit the classification of this transient as a supernova or a kilonova currently remains ambiguous. If it is a supernova, it is an unusual supernova for at least four reasons: (i) There is no robust (rlap>5) spectral match in the SNID library, (ii) No supernova light curve in the ZTF supernova library matches especially the blue-to-red color evolution at this early phase (e.g. Busmann et al. GCN 41535), (iii) The feature at 6720A is not smooth in shape and has additional structure, (iv) There appear to be other weak, broad undulations in the spectra. If it is a kilonova, all photometric data in-hand continue to be consistent with this hypothesis, however, additional theoretical modeling may be needed to fully explain the spectra. \n\nLooking ahead, we encourage continued follow-up of the panchromatic light curve, including the radio and X-ray bands, to unambiguously classify this source. \n",

Thakur (INAF-IAPS) report for the ENGRAVE collaboration:\n\n“We report preliminary analysis of ESO VLT observations obtained by the ENGRAVE collaboration of AT 2025ulz (Stein et al., GCN 41414), which was discovered within the 3D localization of the GW alert S250818k (LVK Collaboration, GCNs 41437, 41440).\n\nFollowing the announcement of the discovery of AT 2025ulz, we triggered optical imaging and spectroscopy, as well as NIR imaging using FORS2, X-shooter and HAWK-I.\n\nUsing X-shooter, we obtained total exposure times of 3480, 3600, 3600 s in the UVB, VIS and NIR arms respectively, between 2025 Aug 20.99 and Aug 21.04 UT. As AT 2025ulz is faint, we acquired the target using a blind offset. We see no obvious broad features in our extracted spectrum that would be suggestive of either a KN or a SN. We do, however, see galaxy features, with prominent lines from the Balmer series (alpha, beta, gamma and delta), Paschen-alpha, [OII], [OIII], [OI], [NII], [SII] in emission, and Ca II in absorption, which securely place the redshift at z = 0.0848 (consistent with Karambelkar et al., GCN 41436).\n\nWith HAWK-I we obtained 690 s of Ks-band imaging between Aug 20.96 and Aug 20.98 UT. While the host galaxy of AT 2025ulz is well detected, we see no obvious point source corresponding to the transient itself. We note that, in the optical, template subtraction is required to detect AT 2025ulz, and, as we have no deep templates, we are currently unable to do this in the NIR. We estimate a limiting magnitude of K > 23 (AB mag) for the image, and K > 22 at the location of AT 2025ulz.\n\nWe obtained 3000 s of FORS2 long-slit spectroscopy using the 300I grism at the position of AT 2025ulz between Aug 21.01 and Aug 21.05 UT, but again see no obvious signal from the transient. We also examined the 3x60 s I-band FORS2 acquisition images, but see no clear point source.\n\nWith the data in hand, we cannot confirm a signal that is kilonova-like. Neither of the two VLT spectra show signatures of a transient source and there is no detectable K-band emission to around -16 (AB mag) absolute magnitude. The host galaxy contamination makes faint object observations challenging without deep templates.\n\nIf AT 2025ulz is associated with a KN, then preliminary modeling of the optical fluxes reported (Busman et al. GCN 41421, Hall et al. GCN 41433, O'Connor et al. GCN 41452, Hall et al. GCN 41453, Gillanders et al. GCN 41454, Mo et al. GCN 41456, Lui et al. GCN 45461) indicate that it must have a fairly large ejecta mass (of perhaps ~0.05 Msun) and the lack of K-band detection indicates it may be lanthanide-poor. If AT 2025ulz is a cooling tail following shock breakout in a core-collapse supernova (as seen for example in SN 1993J), then we should expect the lightcurve to begin to rise again approximately four days from now. \n\nFurther ENGRAVE observations of AT 2025ulz will be carried out at the VLT.\n\nWe acknowledge Célia Desgrange, Lorena Faundez, Camila de Sa Freitas, Elisa Garro, Cecilia Bustos, Claudia Cid, Miguel Lopez, Francesca Lucertini and the observing staff in Paranal for their excellent support.“\n",

Stubbs (Harvard).\n\nWe surveyed the skymap of the gravitational wave event S250818k (LVK Collaboration, GCNs 41437, 41440) using the Pan-STARRS twin telescope system (Chambers et al., 2016, arXiv e-prints, 1612.05560). Following on from the reported optical candidate AT2025ulz (Stein et al., GCN 41414; Busmann et al., GCN 41421; Hall et al., GCN 41433; Karambelkar et al., GCN 41436; O’Connor et al., GCN 41452; Gillanders et al., GCN 41454; Liu et al., GCN 41461; Perley et al., GCN 41480, D’Avanzo et al. GCN 41489), we have been taking targeted grizy imaging of this transient (Gillanders et al., GCN 41454). At this specific region we have proprietary data to make significantly deeper reference stacks than those that are available through the STScI public website, and monitoring with Pan-STARRS is ongoing.\n\nFor the rest of the northern portion of the GW skymap, we surveyed the region in the i-band over three nights: 2025 Aug 20, 21, 22. We covered ~288 square degrees and ~33% of the bilby.fits skymap 90% area each night, with multiple 45s (Aug 20) and 120s (Aug 21, 22) exposures. The images were processed with the Pan-STARRS pipeline. After astrometric and photometric calibration, reference images were subtracted from the target stacked images (Magnier et al., 2020a, ApJS, 251, 3; Magnier et al., 2020b, ApJS, 251, 6; Waters et al., 2020, ApJS, 251, 4). Transient candidates were identified and run through our standard filtering procedures, including rejection of artefacts with machine learning tools and cross-matching with galaxy, stellar and solar-system catalogs (e.g., Smith et al., 2020, PASP, 132, 1; Smartt et al., 2024, MNRAS 528, 2299).\n\nThe depth of our images are typically i ~ 21 - 21.5 per exposure, with the first night having better seeing and transparency conditions. We detected 68 candidate extragalactic transients, of which 30 were already registered on the IAU Transient Name Server (TNS) as having been discovered and detected before S250818k merger time. We have registered the other 38 sources on the TNS. To down-select for optical counterpart candidates of S250818k, we applied the following filters:\n\n 1. Spatially associated with a host galaxy that has a photometric or spectroscopic redshift within the 2-sigma limit from LVK of 0.025 < z < 0.08,\n 2. Has some indication of lightcurve evolution over the three nights of observation,\n 3. We rejected all faint transients spatially coincident with the nucleus of galaxies as being due to either AGN variability or possible subtraction artefacts.\n\nWe found no plausible candidate for the optical counterpart of S250818k other than AT2025ulz. Six sources with plausible kilonova-like absolute magnitudes and in hosts with consistent redshifts (within errors) with S250818k were found (AT2025uuw, AT2025uso, AT2025uuf, AT2025utr, AT2025usy, AT2025uxs), but their lightcurves are either rising or are flat and show no evolution over 48hrs, and they do not appear to be viable candidates at this point. Discovery details and magnitudes of the ATs can be found on the TNS.\n\nOperation of the Pan-STARRS1 and Pan-STARRS2 telescopes is primarily supported by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration under Grant No. NNX12AR65G and NNX14AM74G, issued through the SSO Near-Earth Object Observations Program.

GCNs 41594, 41500) in the context of the subthreshold GW event S250818k (LVK Collaboration, GCNs 41437, 41440). Our reprocessing reveals that in both datasets, from Aug 28 (10 days post-GW-event) and Aug 21 (4 days post-GW-event), the source has a constant integrated flux density of ~90+/10 uJy. Thus, we do not find any evidence for radio variability. Further, the extended nature of the radio source indicates that the emission is host galaxy dominated.\n\nWe caution all users of the SARAO Science Data Processor (SDP) continuum pipeline that the pipeline results must be carefully assessed before dissemination across the astronomical community. In the Aug 28 SDP images, there were large-scale artefacts, likely RFI-induced, that may be responsible for the excess flux measurement reported in GCN 41594.\n\nThe MeerKAT telescope is operated by the South African Radio Astronomy Observatory, which is a facility of the National Research Foundation, an agency of the Department of Science and Innovation.\n\n\n",

"message_text": "\nV.M. Lipunov, (Lomonosov MSU),\n\n\nIn several recent telegrams (GCN 41532, 41538) the nature of the AT2025ulz/ZTF25abjmnps source is discussed. An alternative between the KN and SN II models has emerged. The unusual observable properties of the optical flare are emphasized. This alternative seems strange. For example, where can SN II appear in an elliptical galaxy?\n\nIn this regard, I propose to include a third possible model, namely the merger of two heavy white dwarfs (O-Ne-Mg dwarfs) turning into a neutron star - a dumbbell with powerful radiation of gravitational waves [1].\n\nAs was shown earlier, such a phenomenon can generate an unusual form of gravitational wave impulse, which can be taken for a phenomenon caused by a terrestrial artifact. Is this not related to the fact that the initial probability of a terrestrial nature turned out to be more than 70%?\n\n\n[1] Lipunov V.M., Double O-Ne-Mg white dwarfs merging as the source of the powerful gravitational waves for LIGO/VIRGO type interferometers., New Astronomy, Volume 56, p. 84-85, 2017 https://doi.org/10.1016/j.newast.2017.04.013\n",

Stubbs (Harvard).\n\nWe have been observing the optical transient SN2025ulz (Banerjee et al., GCN 41532), formerly AT2025ulz (Stein et al., GCN 41414), the candidate optical counterpart associated with the sub-threshold gravitational wave event S250818k (LVK Collaboration, GCNs 41437, 41440) using the Pan-STARRS twin telescope system (Chambers et al., 2016, arXiv e-prints, 1612.05560); see also Gillanders et al. (GCN 41454) and Smartt et al. (GCN 41493).\n\nOur observations span grizy-bands, but here we report on the optical re-brightening evident in our i-band observations. On each of MJDs 60909.26, 60910.26, 60911.26 and 60912.26, we observed SN2025ulz for a total exposure time of 1800s. The images were processed with the Pan-STARRS pipeline, where, after astrometric and photometric calibration, reference images were subtracted from the target stacked images (Magnier et al., 2020a, ApJS, 251, 3; Magnier et al., 2020b, ApJS, 251, 6; Waters et al., 2020, ApJS, 251, 4). For this process, we utilise proprietary data to compile significantly deeper reference stacks (~3400s) than those that are publicly available through the STScI website (~300s) and our stacked target images (1800s).\n\nFrom these difference images, we measure the following preliminary AB magnitudes:\n\nMJD t-t0 (days) Filter AB mag\n60909.26 4.2 i 22.4 +/- 0.3\n60910.26 5.2 i 22.5 +/- 0.3\n60911.26 6.2 i 22.1 +/- 0.2\n60912.26 7.2 i 21.6 +/- 0.1\n\nHere, t0 corresponds to the GW trigger time (LVK Collaboration, GCN 41437).\n\nSN2025ulz has risen in our i-band observations by ~0.5 mag (~0.9 mag) in the last one day (two days). While there are barriers to accurately measuring the photometry of this source (e.g., it is relatively faint; it lies close to the bright nucleus and body of the host), our photometry values, and the inferred re-brightening, are robust, given our access to deep reference stacks. We note that these are vital to accurately infer the true brightness of the transient, as performing difference imaging with a shallower reference image can lead to systematic errors (as much as ~0.7 AB mag, in the specific case of SN2025ulz utilising the public reference stack available through the STScI website).\n\nRe-brightening of SN2025ulz has been previously noted by Liu et al. (GCN 41461), Freeburn et al. (GCN 41507) and Angulo et al. (GCN 41518).\n\nOur observed re-brightening supports the interpretation of SN2025ulz being a young SN, based on the VLT spectral observations reported by ENGRAVE (Banerjee et al., GCN 41532). Our consistent i-band rise is likely to suggest it is now on a radioactively powered rise following an initial shock-cooling phase, and thus indicates that SN2025ulz is likely not the optical counterpart to S250818k. \n\nFurther Pan-STARRS observations are continuing to determine if the colour and lightcurve shape remains consistent with a type II or IIb supernova, to compare with the conclusions of Kasliwal et al. (GCN 41538).\n\nOperation of the Pan-STARRS1 and Pan-STARRS2 telescopes is primarily supported by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration under Grant No. NNX12AR65G and NNX14AM74G, issued through the SSO Near-Earth Object Observations Program. Data processing is enabled by Queen's University Belfast and the University of Oxford, enabled through STFC grants ST/Y001605/1, ST/T000198/1 and ST/X001253/1, the Royal Society, and the Hintze Centre for Astrophysical Surveys.",

We reduce the data with lpipe (Perley et al. 2019) and subtract a spectrum at an earlier epoch to understand the evolution (Karambelkar et al. GCN 41436).\n\nAs reported by Banerjee et al. GCN 41532, we also see a feature with an absorption minimum at 6720A. If this is Halpha, this would imply a velocity of 17000 km/s at z=0.0848 (we measure a higher velocity than what was reported in Banerjee et al. GCN 41532). \n\nHowever, we posit the classification of this transient as a supernova or a kilonova currently remains ambiguous. If it is a supernova, it is an unusual supernova for at least four reasons: (i) There is no robust (rlap>5) spectral match in the SNID library, (ii) No supernova light curve in the ZTF supernova library matches especially the blue-to-red color evolution at this early phase (e.g. Busmann et al. GCN 41535), (iii) The feature at 6720A is not smooth in shape and has additional structure, (iv) There appear to be other weak, broad undulations in the spectra. If it is a kilonova, all photometric data in-hand continue to be consistent with this hypothesis, however, additional theoretical modeling may be needed to fully explain the spectra. \n\nLooking ahead, we encourage continued follow-up of the panchromatic light curve, including the radio and X-ray bands, to unambiguously classify this source. \n",

A series of 4x700 s exposures were taken for this observation.\n\nFrom a preliminary reduction, extraction of a spectrum at the position of SN 2025ulz reveals a continuum well detected over the full wavelength range of 5000 to 9000 Å. The spectrum shows a prominent broad feature which we interpret as a P-Cygni profile of the H-alpha line, similar to that observed in young type II or IIb supernovae. The peak of the emission and the absorption trough is consistent with the host galaxy redshift of z = 0.0848 (ENGRAVE GCN 41476, Karambelkar et al., GCN 41436) and an expansion velocity of around 12,000 km/s. There is weaker evidence for an H-beta P-Cygni profile. Plausible matches to young type II and IIb SNe are found with SNID-SAGE (Stoppa et al. in prep, a new enhanced, python version of SNID), although the transient object continuum is contaminated by the host and the absorption line strengths are therefore diluted. We suggest that SN 2025ulz is a type II supernova (of unconfirmed subtype at this point) and is therefore unrelated to S250818k.\n\nWe acknowledge the excellent support from the ESO staff in Paranal, in particular Camila de Sa Freitas, Israel Blanchard and Sam Kim.",

At the transient position, we detect no X-ray source down to a 3-sigma upper limit of 0.004 cts/s (0.3-10 keV), consistent with the result reported by Hall et al. (GCN 41453). Using a power-law with nH=2.2E+20 and a photon index=2, we convert the count rate into an unabsorbed flux of 1.5e-13 erg/cm2/s, which corresponds to a luminosity of 3e42 erg/s at z=0.0848 (Karambelkar et al.

In the g-band, no source is detected in the difference image. The i-band difference image reveals a positive source at the location of AT2025ulz/ZTF25abjmnps.

Becerra (U Rome) report on behalf of a larger team:\n\nWe observed the field of AT2025ulz/ZTF25abjmnps, reported by Stein et al. (GCN 41414) and possibly associated with the candidate gravitational wave signal S250818k (LVK Collaboration, GCN 41437, 41440) with the Hubble Space Telescope (PI: Troja) starting from 2025-08-22 20:04 UTC (~T_0+4.8 days).\n\nThe observations were carried out with the Wide-Field Camera 3 (WFC3) using the UVIS channel with the F336W filter and the IR channel with the F110W and F160W filters. Due to orbital constraints, we could acquire only short exposures of ~120 s per filter.\n\nAt the location of AT2025ulz we clearly detect a source with preliminary AB magnitudes of:\n\nF110W = 22.91 +/- 0.12\nF160W = 22.8 +/- 0.3 (partial result based on 60 s exposure)\nF336W = 23.9 +/ -0.4\n\nThe above values were derived from aperture photometry after subtracting a 2D GALFIT (Peng et al. 2004) model for the host galaxy, and are not corrected for Galactic extinction. \n\nThe source is resolved in our nIR images and offset from the galactic center by ~0.9 arcsec, corresponding to a projected physical offset of ~1.5 kpc. The measured nIR brightness matches well the kilonova AT2017gfo placed at the same distance of 388 Mpc. However, the blue color implied by the F336W observations is not consistent with a kilonova spectrum. \n\nAt present we cannot determine whether the F336W flux is mostly dominated by the transient’s light, e.g. a rising supernova, or by host emission, e.g. underlying star-formation or a young star cluster. While the bulk of the galaxy is not detected in F336W, a star forming clump is still possible, and a clump is seen in the IR filters at the southern edge of the disk. Continued monitoring of the source is encouraged to assess its variability. \n\nWe thank the HST staff, in particular Julia Roman-Duval, Patricia Royle, and William Januszweski for the rapid execution of these observations.\n\n",

Watson (UNAM), and Eleonora Troja (U Rome) report on behalf of a larger team:\n\nWe observed the field of AT2025ulz/ZTF25abjmnps, reported by Stein et al. (GCN 41414) and possibly associated with the candidate gravitational wave signal S250818k (LVK Collaboration, GCN 41437, 41440), with the OSIRIS instrument mounted on the GTC telescope. Our observations began at 2025-08-21 21:40 UTC (3.9 days after the trigger) and were carried out in the r and z filters with an average airmass of ~1.3 and excellent seeing.\n\nAfter image subtraction against Legacy Survey templates (Dey et al. 2019), we detect the source with a preliminary magnitude of r~23.4 AB, consistent with the near-contemporaneous observations of Malesani et al. (GCN 41492). \nWe also confirm a very red color, in agreement with earlier observations (Hall et al., GCN 41433; O’Connor et al., GCN 41452; Gillanders et al., GCN 41454; Liu et al., GCN 41461; Perley et al., GCN 41480).\n\nFurther observations are planned.\n\nWe thank the staff at the GTC, especially Antonio García Rodríguez, Antonio Marante Barreto, and Antonio Cabrera for the rapid execution of these observations. \n",

J1939-6342 was used for flux scale calibration, and J1609+2641 for phase referencing. Data was processed with the SARAO Science Data Processor (SDP) continuum pipeline. The image RMS was 6.4 uJy/beam.\n\nWe detect radio emission at the position of the transient, and we measure an integrated flux density of 77 +/- 16 uJy (corresponding to a ~ 10-sigma detection). However, given the northern declination of the field, the angular resolution is insufficient to disentangle any potential contamination from the host with this epoch of observation alone.\n\nFurther MeerKAT observations are planned.\n\nThe MeerKAT telescope is operated by the South African Radio Astronomy Observatory, which is a facility of the National Research Foundation, an agency of the Department of Science and Innovation.\n—------------------------\n[1] INAF-IAPS\n",

Stubbs (Harvard).\n\nWe surveyed the skymap of the gravitational wave event S250818k (LVK Collaboration, GCNs 41437, 41440) using the Pan-STARRS twin telescope system (Chambers et al., 2016, arXiv e-prints, 1612.05560). Following on from the reported optical candidate AT2025ulz (Stein et al., GCN 41414; Busmann et al., GCN 41421; Hall et al., GCN 41433; Karambelkar et al., GCN 41436; O’Connor et al., GCN 41452; Gillanders et al., GCN 41454; Liu et al., GCN 41461; Perley et al., GCN 41480, D’Avanzo et al. GCN 41489), we have been taking targeted grizy imaging of this transient (Gillanders et al., GCN 41454). At this specific region we have proprietary data to make significantly deeper reference stacks than those that are available through the STScI public website, and monitoring with Pan-STARRS is ongoing.\n\nFor the rest of the northern portion of the GW skymap, we surveyed the region in the i-band over three nights: 2025 Aug 20, 21, 22. We covered ~288 square degrees and ~33% of the bilby.fits skymap 90% area each night, with multiple 45s (Aug 20) and 120s (Aug 21, 22) exposures. The images were processed with the Pan-STARRS pipeline. After astrometric and photometric calibration, reference images were subtracted from the target stacked images (Magnier et al., 2020a, ApJS, 251, 3; Magnier et al., 2020b, ApJS, 251, 6; Waters et al., 2020, ApJS, 251, 4). Transient candidates were identified and run through our standard filtering procedures, including rejection of artefacts with machine learning tools and cross-matching with galaxy, stellar and solar-system catalogs (e.g., Smith et al., 2020, PASP, 132, 1; Smartt et al., 2024, MNRAS 528, 2299).\n\nThe depth of our images are typically i ~ 21 - 21.5 per exposure, with the first night having better seeing and transparency conditions. We detected 68 candidate extragalactic transients, of which 30 were already registered on the IAU Transient Name Server (TNS) as having been discovered and detected before S250818k merger time. We have registered the other 38 sources on the TNS. To down-select for optical counterpart candidates of S250818k, we applied the following filters:\n\n 1. Spatially associated with a host galaxy that has a photometric or spectroscopic redshift within the 2-sigma limit from LVK of 0.025 < z < 0.08,\n 2. Has some indication of lightcurve evolution over the three nights of observation,\n 3. We rejected all faint transients spatially coincident with the nucleus of galaxies as being due to either AGN variability or possible subtraction artefacts.\n\nWe found no plausible candidate for the optical counterpart of S250818k other than AT2025ulz. Six sources with plausible kilonova-like absolute magnitudes and in hosts with consistent redshifts (within errors) with S250818k were found (AT2025uuw, AT2025uso, AT2025uuf, AT2025utr, AT205usy, AT2025uxs), but their lightcurves are either rising or are flat and show no evolution over 48hrs, and they do not appear to be viable candidates at this point. Discovery details and magnitudes of the ATs can be found on the TNS.\n\nOperation of the Pan-STARRS1 and Pan-STARRS2 telescopes is primarily supported by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration under Grant No. NNX12AR65G and NNX14AM74G, issued through the SSO Near-Earth Object Observations Program. Data processing is enabled by Queen's University Belfast and the University of Oxford, enabled through STFC grants ST/Y001605/1, ST/T000198/1 and ST/X001253/1, the Royal Society, and the Hintze Centre for Astrophysical Surveys.",

On the first night weather conditions were good, and two exposures of 30s each were acquired in each band starting at 2025-08-20 07:04 UT. The weather was cloudy on the second night. Three 300s exposures were taken, but due to highly variable atmospheric extinction only the highest-transmission image (starting at 2025-08-21 07:45 UT) was used for this analysis. The 5-sigma limiting magnitudes of the images are g>24.8, i>23.9 (08-20) and g>23.9, i>23.2 (08-21).\n\nWhile determining the magnitude of the transient is limited by the depth of available reference images, we performed difference imaging between the two nights in each band. Subtracting the 08-20 image from the 08-21 image in each filter, there is a clear detection of a negative point source at the reported location of the transient in the g-band difference image, but no significant residual flux in the i-band difference image. The difference flux at the transient position from forced photometry is -1.60 +/- 0.20 microJy (g-band) and +0.31 +/- 0.38 microJy (i-band). This suggests the transient is still rapidly fading in g-band, and likely reddening in g-i color. This observation is consistent with the kilonova hypothesis and inconsistent with the re-brightening proposed by Liu et al. (GCN 41461).",

Kasliwal (Caltech), Viraj Karambelkar (Caltech), Michael Lundquist (WMKO), Xander Hall (CMU), Tomas Ahumada (Caltech), Kritti Sharma (Caltech), and Sam Rose (Caltech) report on behalf of the larger ZTF and GROWTH collaboration:\n \nThe location of AT2025ulz (ZTF25abjmnps; Stein et al., GCN 41414), a candidate counterpart to S250818k (LVK Collaboration, GCNs 41437, 41440), was imaged using the Low-Resolution Imaging Spectrometer (LRIS) on the Keck I 10m Telescope on the consecutive nights of 2025 August 20 and 21 (UT), simultaneously in g-band and i-band on each night. On the first night weather conditions were good, and two exposures of 30s each were acquired in each band starting at 2025-08-20 07:04 UT. The weather was cloudy on the second night. Three 300s exposures were taken, but due to highly variable atmospheric extinction only the highest-transmission image (starting at 2025-08-21 07:45 UT) was used for this analysis. The 5-sigma limiting magnitudes of the images are g>24.8, i>23.9 (08-20) and g>23.9, i>23.2 (08-21).\n\nWhile determining the magnitude of the transient is limited by the depth of available reference images, we performed difference imaging between the two nights in each band. Subtracting the 08-20 image from the 08-21 image in each filter, there is a clear detection of a negative point source at the reported location of the transient in the g-band difference image, but no significant residual flux in the i-band difference image. The difference flux at the transient position from forced photometry is -1.60 +/- 0.20 microJy (g-band) and +0.31 +/- 0.38 (i-band). This suggests the transient is still rapidly fading in g-band, and likely reddening in g-i color. This observation is consistent with the kilonova hypothesis and inconsistent with the re-brightening proposed by Liu et al. (GCN 41461).",

Thakur (INAF-IAPS) report for the ENGRAVE collaboration:\n\n“We report preliminary analysis of ESO VLT observations obtained by the ENGRAVE collaboration of AT 2025ulz (Stein et al., GCN 41414), which was discovered within the 3D localization of the GW alert S250818k (LVK Collaboration, GCNs 41437, 41440).\n\nFollowing the announcement of the discovery of AT 2025ulz, we triggered optical imaging and spectroscopy, as well as NIR imaging using FORS2, X-shooter and HAWK-I.\n\nUsing X-shooter, we obtained total exposure times of 3480, 3600, 3600 s in the UVB, VIS and NIR arms respectively, between 2025 Aug 20.99 and Aug 21.04 UT. As AT 2025ulz is faint, we acquired the target using a blind offset. We see no obvious broad features in our extracted spectrum that would be suggestive of either a KN or a SN. We do, however, see galaxy features, with prominent lines from the Balmer series (alpha, beta, gamma and delta), Paschen-alpha, [OII], [OIII], [OI], [NII], [SII] in emission, and Ca II in absorption, which securely place the redshift at z = 0.0848 (consistent with Karambelkar et al., GCN 41436).\n\nWith HAWK-I we obtained 690 s of Ks-band imaging between Aug 20.96 and Aug 20.98 UT. While the host galaxy of AT 2025ulz is well detected, we see no obvious point source corresponding to the transient itself. We note that, in the optical, template subtraction is required to detect AT 2025ulz, and, as we have no deep templates, we are currently unable to do this in the NIR. We estimate a limiting magnitude of K > 23 (AB mag) for the image, and K > 22 at the location of AT 2025ulz.\n\nWe obtained 3000 s of FORS2 long-slit spectroscopy using the 300I grism at the position of AT 2025ulz between Aug 21.01 and Aug 21.05 UT, but again see no obvious signal from the transient. We also examined the 3x60 s I-band FORS2 acquisition images, but see no clear point source.\n\nWith the data in hand, we cannot confirm a signal that is kilonova-like. Neither of the two VLT spectra show signatures of a transient source and there is no detectable K-band emission to around -16 (AB mag) absolute magnitude. The host galaxy contamination makes faint object observations challenging without deep templates.\n\nIf AT 2025ulz is associated with a KN, then preliminary modeling of the optical fluxes reported (Busman et al. GCN 41421, Hall et al. GCN 41433, O'Connor et al. GCN 41452, Hall et al. GCN 41453, Gillanders et al. GCN 41454, Mo et al. GCN 41456, Lui et al. GCN 45461) indicate that it must have a fairly large ejecta mass (of perhaps ~0.05 Msun) and the lack of K-band detection indicates it may be lanthanide-poor. If AT 2025ulz is a cooling tail following shock breakout in a core-collapse supernova (as seen for example in SN 1993J), then we should expect the lightcurve to begin to rise again approximately four days from now. \n\nFurther ENGRAVE observations of AT 2025ulz will be carried out at the VLT.\n\nWe acknowledge Célia Desgrange, Lorena Faundez, Camila de Sa Freitas, Elisa Garro, Cecilia Bustos, Claudia Cid, Miguel Lopez, Francesca Lucertini and the observing staff in Paranal for their excellent support.“\n",

Killestein report on behalf of the GOTO collaboration:\n\nWe report on observations with the Gravitational-wave Optical Transient Observer (GOTO; Steeghs et al. 2022; Dyer et al. 2024) in response to the LIGO/Virgo/KAGRA low-significance event S250818k (The LIGO-Virgo-KAGRA Collaboration, GCN 41437). \n\nAs part of our strategy for LVK O4 follow-up, targeted observations of the event between 2025-08-18 01:22:29 UT (2.4 minutes post-trigger) and 2025-08-21 05:29:32 UT (76.2 hours post trigger) with GOTO-North and between 2025-08-18 08:34:23 UT (7.2 hours post-trigger) and 2025-08-19 09:29:09 UT (32.2 hours post-trigger) with GOTO-South.\n\nWe covered a total of 521.4 deg2 (46.0%) of the localisation probability of the Bilby skymap (The LIGO-Virgo-KAGRA Collaboration, GCN 41440). Exposures were taken in L-band (400-700 nm passband) and the average 5 sigma depth was L = 19.95 AB magnitudes with GOTO-1 (North), L = 19.74 AB with GOTO-2 (North), L = 19.05 AB with GOTO-3 (South), and L = 19.70 AB with GOTO-4 (South).\n\nImages were processed immediately after acquisition using the GOTO pipeline. Difference imaging was performed using recent survey observations of the same pointings. Source candidates were initially filtered using a classifier (Killestein et al. 2021) and cross-matched against a variety of contextual and minor planet catalogs. Human vetting was carried out in real time on any candidates that passed the above checks. \n\nNo significant counterpart sources that can be associated with S250818k have been identified. We do not detect emission of the candidate counterpart AT 2025ulz/ZTF25abjmnps (Stein et al. GCN 41414; Hall et al. GCN 41433; Karambelkar et al. GCN 41436; O’Connor et al. GCN 41452) down to a 3-sigma limiting magnitude of L = 20.3 AB at 2025-08-18 20:53:41 UTC (~19.6 hours post-trigger).\n\nMagnitudes were calibrated using ATLAS-REFCAT2 (Tonry et al. 2018) and not corrected for Galactic extinction.\n\nGOTO (https://goto-observatory.org) is a network of telescopes that is principally funded by the STFC and operated at the Roque de los Muchachos Observatory on La Palma, Spain, and Siding Spring Observatory in NSW, Australia, on behalf of a consortium including the University of Warwick, Monash University, Armagh Observatory & Planetarium, the University of Leicester, the University of Sheffield, the National Astronomical Research Institute of Thailand (NARIT), the University of Turku, the University of Portsmouth, the University of Manchester and the Instituto de Astrofisica de Canarias (IAC).\n",

Wu (PMO) report on behalf of the WFST Collaboration:\n \nWe report the pre-discovery upper limits and follow-up photometry results of AT2025ulz/ZTF25abjmnps reported by Stein et al. (GCN 41414), possibly associated with the sub-threshold gravitational wave (GW) event S250818k (GCN 41437), using the Wide Field Survey Telescope (WFST Collaboration; Wang et al., 2023).\n \nAfter checking WFST archive data, we found u- and g-band 30s exposures taken at MJD 60901.66, about 3.4 days prior to the GW event trigger. The images were processed with the WFST pipeline, using stacked WFST multi-exposures taken in February 2025 as templates. We do not found any residuals in difference images in the two bands. We report the following pre-discovery 3-sigma upper limits and time since the S20250818k trigger (t-t0):\n \nMJD t-t0 (days) AB mag Band\n60901.64 -3.42 > 22.1 u\n60901.67 -3.38 > 22.4 g\n \nWe conducted WFST follow-up observations of AT2025ulz with 120s exposures in g and r bands and a 180s exposure in u band beginning at 2025-08-20T14:24:03 UTC. After image subtraction, a clear source was detected in g band, and faint sources detected in u and r bands, which are close to the detection limit. The preliminary AB magnitudes of AT2025ulz are (all photometries are not corrected for Galactic extinction):\n \nMJD t-t0 (days) AB mag Band\n60907.60 2.54 22.71+/-0.10 g\n60907.61 2.55 22.78+/-0.16 r\n60907.65 2.59 23.24+/-0.24 u\n \nThe g-r and u-g color from WFST observations are approximately -0.1 mag and 0.5 mag, respectively, which became bluer compared with the previous reports (Hall et al., GCN 41433; O’Connor et al., GCN 41452; Gillanders et al., GCN 41454). Additionally, our results show a re-brightening trend for AT2025ulz, which may be related to the shock-cooling process mentioned in Gillanders et al. (GCN 41454). We also note that AT2025ulz is significantly more luminous than AT 2017gfo at the same phase, especially in g and u bands assuming a host redshift 0.0848 reported by Karambelkar et al. (GCN 41436). The angular separations between the detected source in g band and the host center are approximately 0.85 and 0.83 arcseconds using host coordinates in PS1 DR2 (Chambers et al., 2016) and SDSS DR16 (Ahumada et al., 2020), respectively. Given the close distance between the source and the bright host nucleus, and the peculiar photometric evolution in the past 24 hours, we suggest that the variability might be influenced by the host-nuclear activity. Further deep multiband imaging follow-ups are highly encouraged.\n",

The images were processed with the Pan-STARRS pipeline. After astrometric and photometric calibration, reference images were subtracted from the target stacked images (Magnier et al., 2020a, ApJS, 251, 3; Magnier et al., 2020b, ApJS, 251, 6; Waters et al., 2020, ApJS, 251, 4).\n\nFrom these difference images, we measure the following preliminary AB magnitudes, from averages of all forced photometry from the two GPC1 and GPC2 cameras:\n\nMJD t-t0 (days) Filter AB mag\n60907.30 2.25 g 22.9 +/- 0.4\n60907.31 2.26 r 22.2 +/- 0.2\n60907.33 2.27 i 21.8 +/- 0.2\n60907.34 2.28 z 21.4 +/- 0.2\n\nHere, t0 corresponds to the GW trigger time (LVK Collaboration, GCN 41437).\n\nOur difference imaging and photometric measurements indicate a consistent flux excess at the position of AT2025ulz (Stein et al., GCN 41414), although we note that these current magnitude estimates are derived from difference images generated with reference images shallower than the target images (900s vs. ~300s, respectively). We caution these are preliminary, given the differencing issues and the closeness of the source to the bright nucleus and body of the host. \n\nComparing our current Pan-STARRS gr-band data to that previously reported by Busmann et al. (GCN 41421) and Hall et al. (GCN 41433), we find that AT2025ulz appears to have faded further, if both sets of photometry are accurate. \n\nWe can certainly conclude that no re-brightening (which may be expected in SNe IIb or shock cooling) is yet taking place. \n\nWork is ongoing to generate a deeper reference image, and thus improved magnitude estimates.

Kunnumkai (CMU), A. Amsellem (CMU) report on behalf of a larger collaboration: \n\nUsing Gemini GMOS-N, we observed the source AT 2025ulz/ZTF25abjmnps reported by Stein et al. (GCN 41414) discovered during ZTF follow-up of the low-significance gravitational wave event S250818k (GCN 41437, 41440; https://gracedb.ligo.org/superevents/S250818k) which is a candidate binary neutron star merger. \n\nFollowing the discovery of rapid fading and reddening of the source with the Fraunhofer Telescope at Wendelstein Observatory (FTW; see Busmann et al. GCN 41421, Hall et al. GCN 41433), we carried out observations in the grizY filters with GMOS-N under photometric observing conditions starting at 2025-08-20 05:29:56 UT. This corresponds to 2.17 days after the gravitational wave detection (GCN 41437). \n\nA visual inspection reveals that the transient is significantly detected on top of the host galaxy. The source is clearly off-nuclear, but lies on top of the galaxy’s disk. We performed difference imaging with respect to Legacy Survey templates that further reveal the source. The brightness of the transient is g~23.0 AB mag and r~22.6 AB mag. The photometry is not correct for Galactic extinction. \n\nOur data reveals continued rapid fading and reddening of the transient in the 9.4 hours following the FTW report (Hall et al. GCN 41433). This would imply a steepening of the fade rate in g-band. We caution that the galaxy appears over subtracted in our difference imaging, which may affect the preliminary photometry. Additional analysis is underway. \n\nFurther observations are planned and additional follow-up is encouraged.\n\nWe thank the staff of the Gemini Observatory, in particular Jen Andrews, Brian Lemaux, and Jen Miller, for their excellent support in rapidly scheduling these observations. \n",

Vadawale (PRL) report on behalf of the AstroSat CZTI collaboration:\n\nWe have carried a search [1] for X-ray candidates in Astrosat CZTI data in a 100 sec window around the trigger time of the event S250818k (UTC 2025-08-18 01:20:06; LVK Collaboration, GCN Circ. 41437). We use the Bilby.offline0.multiorder.fits,0 map (https://gracedb.ligo.org/api/superevents/S250818k/files/Bilby.offline0.multiorder.fits,0) for our analysis. \n\nCZTI is a coded aperture mask instrument that has considerable effective area for about 29% of the entire sky, but is also sensitive to brighter transients from the entire sky. At the time of the merger, Astrosat's nominal pointing is RA,DEC = 00:46:53.8, 42:11:36.4 (11.7242,42.1934), which is ~88 deg away from the maximum probability location, which severely reduces the effective area of CZTI. At the time of the merger event, the Earth-satellite-transient angle corresponding to maximum probability location is ~33 deg and hence is occulted by Earth in satellite's frame. In a time interval of 100 sec around the event, the region of the localisation map which is not occulted by Earth in the satellite's frame has a total probability of 0.59 (59%).\n\nWe note that the source AT 2025ulz (Stein et al., GCN Circ. 41414) was occulted behind Earth for AstroSat at the time of the merger event. \n\nCZTI data were de-trended to remove orbit-wise background variation. We then searched data from three of the four independent, identical quadrants to look for coincident spikes in the count rates. Quadrant C being noisy was excluded from further analysis. Searches were undertaken by binning the data in 0.1s, 1s, and 10s respectively. Statistical fluctuations in background count rates were estimated by using data from 5 preceding orbits. We selected confidence levels such that the probability of a false trigger in a 100 sec window is 10^-3, after excluding one noisy quadrant. We do not find any evidence for any hard X-ray transient in this window, in the CZTI energy range of 20-200 keV.\n\nWe use a detailed mass model of the satellite to calculate the direction-dependent instrument response for points in the visible sky. We then assume the source is modelled as a power law with photon index alpha = -1, and convert our count rate upper limits to direction-dependent flux limits. We obtain the following upper limits for source flux in the 20-200 keV band by taking a probability weighted mean over the visible sky:\n\n| Bin (s) | Flux Limit (ergs/cm^2/s) | Fluence Limit (ergs/cm^2) |\n|---------|--------------------------|---------------------------|\n| 0.1 | 1.47e-06 | 1.47e-07 |\n| 1.0 | 3.78e-07 | 3.78e-07 |\n| 10.0 | 8.00e-08 | 8.00e-07 |\n\nCZTI is built by a TIFR-led consortium of institutes across India, including VSSC, URSC, IUCAA, SAC, and PRL. The Indian Space Research Organisation funded, managed, and facilitated the project.\n\nCZTI EMGW detections are reported regularly on the payload site at: http://astrosat.iucaa.in/czti/?q=emgw\n\n[1] Waratkar et al.

"message_text": "For S250818k (GCN 41437, LVK Collaboration) and using the updated bayestar skymap, Fermi-GBM was observing 51.0% of the localization probability at event time.\n\nThere was no Fermi-GBM onboard trigger around the event time of the LIGO/Virgo/KAGRA (LVK) detection of GW trigger S250818k . An automated, blind search for short gamma-ray bursts below the onboard triggering threshold in Fermi-GBM also identified no counterpart candidates. The GBM targeted search, the most sensitive, coherent search for GRB-like signals, was run from +/-30 s around merger time, and also identified no counterpart candidates.\n\nPart of the LVK localization region is behind the Earth for Fermi, located at an RA=66.9, Dec=-25.2 with a radius of 68.0 degrees. We therefore set upper limits on impulsive gamma-ray emission for the GW localization region visible to Fermi at merger time. Using the representative soft, normal, and hard GRB-like templates described in arXiv:1612.02395, we set the following 3 sigma flux upper limits over 10-1000 keV, weighted by GW localization probability (in units of 10^-7 erg/s/cm^2):\n\nTimescale Soft Normal Hard \n------------------------------------\n0.128 s: 1.5 \t2.5 \t4.3\n1.024 s: 0.66 0.87 1.5\n8.192 s: 0.22 0.29 0.45\n\nAssuming the median luminosity distance of 259.4 Mpc from the GW detection, we estimate the following intrinsic luminosity upper limits over the 1 keV-10 MeV energy range (in units of 10^50 erg/s):\n\nTimescale Soft Normal Hard\n------------------------------------\n0.128s: 0.018 0.029 0.081\n1.024s: 0.008 0.010 0.028\n8.192s: 0.003 0.003 0.008",

Parameter estimation has been performed using Bilby [1] and a new sky map, Bilby.offline0.multiorder.fits,0, distributed via GCN and SCiMMA notices, is available for retrieval from the GraceDB event page:\n\nhttps://gracedb.ligo.org/superevents/S250818k\n\nBased on posterior support from parameter estimation [1], under the assumption that the candidate S250818k is astrophysical in origin, the probability that at least one of the compact objects is consistent with a neutron star mass above one solar mass (HasNS) is 80%. [2] Using the masses and spins inferred from the signal, the probability of matter outside the final compact object (HasRemnant) is 80%. [2] HasRemnant is assumed to be zero when the heavier component mass is below 1 solar mass. Both HasNS and HasRemnant consider the support of several neutron star equations of state for maximum neutron star mass.

The probability that the lighter compact object is below 1 solar mass (HasSSM) is >99%.\n\nThe source chirp mass falls with highest probability in the bin (0.1, 0.87) solar masses after parameter estimation [1], assuming the candidate is astrophysical in origin.\n\nFor the Bilby.offline0.multiorder.fits,0 sky map, the 90% credible region is 949 deg2.

Stubbs (Harvard):\n\nWe report pre-discovery limits on the source AT2025ulz, reported by Stein et al. (GCN 41414) and possibly associated with the sub-threshold gravitational wave candidate S20250818k (The LIGO-Virgo-Kagra Collaboration, GCN 41437), obtained with the Pan-STARRS telescope system (Chambers et al., 2016, ArXiv e-prints, 1612.05560). The Pan-STARRS system comprises of two 1.8m telescope units located at the summit of Haleakala on the Hawaiian island of Maui, employing an SDSS-like filter system denoted as grizy, and a broad w-filter, which is a composite of the gri-filters. In our primary NASA mission for Near-Earth Object discovery, we scan the visible night sky North of -50 degrees declination to magnitude depths m~22, weather and Moon permitting.\n\nExamining recent data obtained during normal Pan-STARRS survey coverage (see Fulton et al. 2025, MNRAS, 542, 541) at the location of AT2025ulz, we report the following pre-discovery upper limits and time since the S20250818k trigger (t-t0) \n\nDate t-t0 (days) Magnitude Band\n60904.233 -0.82 <19.7 y\n60895.314 -9.7 <21.0 i\n\nWe note that the y-band non-detection was obtained only ~0.8 days before the GW signal. This indicates that there was no bright, red transient at this position less than a day prior.\n\nThe images were processed with the Pan-STARRS pipeline. After astrometric and photometric calibration, reference images were subtracted from the target images (Magnier et al., 2020a, ApJS, 251, 3; Magnier et al., 2020b, ApJS, 251, 6; Waters et al., 2020, ApJS, 251, 4).\n\nFurther Pan-STARRS grizy imaging of this source, and coverage of the S20250818k skymap (northern banana) is underway in the i-band with PS1 and PS2 jointly. \n\nThe discoveries from this program are a byproduct of the Panoramic Survey Telescope and Rapid Response System (Pan-STARRS) NEO survey observations. Operation of the Pan-STARRS1 and Pan-STARRS2 telescopes is primarily supported by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration under Grant No. NNX12AR65G and Grant No. NNX14AM74G issued through the SSO Near-Earth Object Observations Program. Data are processed at Queen's University Belfast enabled through the STFC grants ST/P000312/1 and ST/T000198/1. \n",

The candidate was found by the GstLAL SSM [1] and PyCBC Live [2] analysis pipelines. Two LVK Preliminary GCN Notices were issued within 5 minutes after the candidate was identified.\n\nBased on the analysis of gravitational-wave (GW) data alone, this candidate does not meet our criteria for a high-significance public alert as its false alarm rate is estimated by the online analysis to be 6.8e-08 Hz or about one in 5 months. However, we are issuing this Circular to confirm the properties of the GW candidate because of its potential association with the optical transient ZTF25abjmnps / AT 2025ulz (Stein et al, GCN 41414) which has been confirmed and reported to be fading and reddening rapidly (Busmann et al., GCN 41421; Hall et al., GCN 41433; Karambelkar et al., GCN 41436). The GW candidate’s properties can be found at this URL:\n\nhttps://gracedb.ligo.org/superevents/S250818k\n\nThe classification of the GW candidate, in order of descending probability, is Terrestrial (71%), BNS (29%), NSBH (<1%), or BBH (<1%).\nInitial data quality checks found that there is no evidence for presence of a glitch or other data quality issues.\n\nAssuming the candidate is astrophysical in origin, the probability that at least one of the compact objects is consistent with a neutron star mass (HasNS) is >99%. [3] Using the masses and spins inferred from the signal, the probability of matter outside the final compact object (HasRemnant) is >99%. [3] Both HasNS and HasRemnant consider the support of several neutron star equations of state for maximum neutron star mass.

For the bayestar.multiorder.fits,2 sky map, the 90% credible region is 786 deg2.

GCN 41414) starting UTC 2025-08-19 06:42 with the LRIS spectrograph on Keck I. We derive a redshift of 0.0848 based on host galaxy emission lines - this is consistent with the 3D GW localization for S250818k. Subtracting host galaxy light, we see a blue continuum excess from the transient, and no tell-tale supernova-like features. The data in-hand thus far appears consistent with a kilonova. However, continued monitoring (such as Busmann et al. GCN 41421, Hall et al. GCN 41433) is encouraged to rule out any future re-brightening from a faint and fast supernova Type IIb (e.g., Barna et al. 2025, arXiv:2506.15900). Panchromatic follow-up is ongoing and encouraged.\n",

"message_text": "The LIGO Scientific Collaboration, the Virgo Collaboration, and the KAGRA Collaboration report:\n\nWe identified the compact binary merger candidate S250904br during real-time processing of data from LIGO Hanford Observatory (H1), LIGO Livingston Observatory (L1), and Virgo Observatory (V1) at 2025-09-04 10:22:08.022 UTC (GPS time: 1441016546.022). The candidate was found by the Aframe [1], cWB [2], cWB BBH [3], GstLAL [4], MBTA [5], and PyCBC Live [6] analysis pipelines.\n\nS250904br is an event of interest because its false alarm rate, as estimated by the online analysis, is 3.2e-10 Hz, or about one in 1e2 years. The event's properties can be found at this URL:\n\nhttps://gracedb.ligo.org/superevents/S250904br\n\nThe classification of the GW signal, in order of descending probability, is BBH (>99%), Terrestrial (<1%), BNS (<1%), or NSBH (<1%).\n\nAssuming the candidate is astrophysical in origin, the probability that at least one of the compact objects is consistent with a neutron star mass (HasNS) is <1%. [7] Using the masses and spins inferred from the signal, the probability of matter outside the final compact object (HasRemnant) is <1%.

The candidate was found by the Aframe [1], cWB [2], cWB BBH [3], GstLAL [4], MBTA [5], and PyCBC Live [6] analysis pipelines.\n\nS250904br is an event of interest because its false alarm rate, as estimated by the online analysis, is 3.2e-10 Hz, or about one in 1e2 years. The event's properties can be found at this URL:\n\nhttps://gracedb.ligo.org/superevents/S250904br\n\nThe classification of the GW signal, in order of descending probability, is BBH (>99%), Terrestrial (<1%), BNS (<1%), or NSBH (<1%).\n\nAssuming the candidate is astrophysical in origin, the probability that at least one of the compact objects is consistent with a neutron star mass (HasNS) is <1%. [7] Using the masses and spins inferred from the signal, the probability of matter outside the final compact object (HasRemnant) is <1%. [7] Both HasNS and HasRemnant consider the support of several neutron star equations of state for maximum neutron star mass. The probability that either of the binary components lies between 3 and 5 solar masses (HasMassGap) is <1%.\n\nThe source chirp mass falls with highest probability in the bin (22.0, 44.0) solar masses, assuming the candidate is astrophysical in origin.\n\nTwo sky maps are available at this time and can be retrieved from the GraceDB event page:\n * amplfi.multiorder.fits,0, an initial localization generated by AMPLFI [8], distributed via GCN and SCiMMA notices about 26 seconds after the candidate event time.\n * bayestar.multiorder.fits,1, an initial localization generated by BAYESTAR [9], distributed via GCN and SCiMMA notices about 5 minutes after the candidate event time.\n\nThe preferred sky map at this time is bayestar.multiorder.fits,1.

"message_text": "The LIGO Scientific Collaboration, the Virgo Collaboration, and the KAGRA Collaboration report:\n\nWe identified the compact binary merger candidate S250908y during real-time processing of data from LIGO Hanford Observatory (H1) and Virgo Observatory (V1) at 2025-09-08 14:34:28.958 UTC (GPS time: 1441377286.958). The candidate was found by the GstLAL [1] analysis pipeline.\n\nS250908y is an event of interest because its false alarm rate, as estimated by the online analysis, is 1.1e-10 Hz, or about one in 1e2 years. The event's properties can be found at this URL:\n\nhttps://gracedb.ligo.org/superevents/S250908y\n\nThe classification of the GW signal, in order of descending probability, is BBH (>99%), Terrestrial (<1%), NSBH (<1%), or BNS (<1%).\n\nAssuming the candidate is astrophysical in origin, the probability that at least one of the compact objects is consistent with a neutron star mass (HasNS) is <1%. [2] Using the masses and spins inferred from the signal, the probability of matter outside the final compact object (HasRemnant) is <1%. [2] Both HasNS and HasRemnant consider the support of several neutron star equations of state for maximum neutron star mass. The probability that either of the binary components lies between 3 and 5 solar masses (HasMassGap) is <1%.\n\nThe source chirp mass falls with highest probability in the bin (5.5, 11.0) solar masses, assuming the candidate is astrophysical in origin.\n\nTwo sky maps are available at this time and can be retrieved from the GraceDB event page:\n * bayestar.multiorder.fits,0, an initial localization generated by BAYESTAR [3], distributed via GCN and SCiMMA notices about 45 minutes after the candidate event time.\n * bayestar.multiorder.fits,1, an initial localization generated by BAYESTAR [3], distributed via GCN and SCiMMA notices about 50 minutes after the candidate event time.\n\nThe preferred sky map at this time is bayestar.multiorder.fits,1. For the bayestar.multiorder.fits,1 sky map, the 90% credible region is 11002 deg2. Marginalized over the whole sky, the a posteriori luminosity distance estimate is 1280 +/- 403 Mpc (a posteriori mean +/- standard deviation).\n\nFor further information about analysis methodology and the contents of this alert, refer to the LIGO/Virgo/KAGRA Public Alerts User Guide https://emfollow.docs.ligo.org/.\n\n [1] Tsukada et al.
