- Author contribution statement
- I was in charge of the parameter estimation of the detected signal, including masses to confirm its nature, and deformability to measure the equation of state of extremely dense matter. That analysis is presented in detail in Section IV (Source Properties). It includes the “higher latency Hanford-Livingston-Virgo analysis [that] improved the localization” mentioned in Figure 3, all of the source properties from Table 1, and the probability distribution function samples for Figures 4 and 5. Those values form the basis of the interpretation of this event.
