A groundbreaking discovery, or just a false alarm? Time (and more analysis) may tell
Latest false alarm rate for #S251112cm with an updated background model of about 1 in 4 yr, so slightly less significant

Oo! Interesting #GravitationalWave candidate #S251112cm potentially from a *subsolar* mass source
If real, the source probably has chirp mass ~0.1–0.87 solar masses
False alarm rate 1 in 6.2 yr
