- Author contribution statement
- As co-chair of the LIGO-Virgo Compact Binary Coalescence Parameter Estimation working group, I supervised the characterisation of the detected signal’s source. The working group was specifically responsible for the section “Astrophysical source”, Table 1, and Figures 2 to 5. This includes the mass estimates, with consequences for the paper’s conclusions on pulsational pair-instability supernova processes and intermediate mass black hole formation. The software and methods developed by myself and collaborators were used for this astrophysical inference analysis.
