- Vecchio co-led the study of the physical properties of the three binary black hole mergers that were observed during the first Advanced LIGO observing runs and produced many of the results reporting the posterior probability density functions of the whole set of parameters (e.g. masses, spins, distance, position in the sky) of these systems which are reported in this paper. The analysis technique is based on methods and software that he co-developed and the technical aspects of the methodology and its implementation are reported in the paper which he co-authored (PRD 91, 042003, 2015).
