- Nuttall led a study which looked into the validity of the Hanford data for the event reported in this paper (GW170608) since this event occurred in non-nominal observing time in the LIGO-Hanford detector. She investigated whether the data around this event time could be used in the analyses. The investigation she led was key to using the LIGO-Hanford data over a restricted frequency range for analyses. This greatly increased the accuracy with which the signal parameters were estimated. She also drafted the text within the paper which describes the study she performed.
