I'm starting this issue to hopefully act as a central place to continue discussion!
Following the R&P call, remaining questions are the following (copied over from Maya's email on Jan 25):
- do we want to use information from public alerts in O4a, or base the estimate simply on O1-O3 published events?
- do we want to use (and release) an O4a PSD to calculate VTs?
- do we want to update the O5 numbers as well? (observers will probably ask?)
- do we want to restrict the update to BNS detections? or include NSBH and BBH? (we probably don't want to reveal too much about NSBH events in O4a.)
- other details about the BNS mass distribution to assume, etc., although it won't matter much because the VT ratio is fairly insensitive to this.https://git.ligo.org/emfollow/userguide/-/issues/342typo in the FAR threshold of significant events after trial factors2023-07-05T15:18:38ZLeo Tsukadatypo in the FAR threshold of significant events after trial factorsIn [this page](https://emfollow.docs.ligo.org/userguide/analysis/index.html#%23alert-threshold), the text that describes the FAR threshold for significant events appears to have a typo for CBC threshold.

Currently, the page says 1/6months, but that is supposed to be 1/5months as far as I understand.https://git.ligo.org/emfollow/userguide/-/issues/356Follow-up from "Probability of a BNS merger in O4b"2024-03-25T09:36:52ZOm Sharan SalafiaFollow-up from "Probability of a BNS merger in O4b"The following discussion from !260 should be addressed:

> This is a very long sentence. Please break into shorter sentences or otherwise restructure for readability.
- [x] It is not clear from context why this section is here. I think that we all know that it is because people are surprised by the lack of BNS events so far in O4. Would you please add some introductory text to frame this issue?
- [ ] This section is very verbose and technical. Can you trim it and make it more readable for a general astronomy audience?Om Sharan SalafiaOm Sharan Salafiahttps://git.ligo.org/emfollow/userguide/-/issues/355O4b trials factors and searches2024-03-22T07:54:06ZAndrew ToivonenO4b trials factors and searchestrials factors descriptions need to be updated for the searches participating in O4b
