- This paper describes the discovery of GW190814 and the astrophysical implications of its source. As the member of the LIGO Editorial Board who was primarily responsible for this paper, Berry (i) assisted in the conceptualization of the paper, (ii) advised on paper writing and editing, (iii) provided interpretation of the analysis to infer the source properties, and (vi) verified that analysis design and findings were consistent with other Collaboration publications. Additionally, Berry supervised graduate student Chase Kimball who computed the merger rate for GW190814-like systems (one of the key pieces information on the astrophysical formation mechanism).
