- Author contribution statement
- Pitkin has been involved in the analysis of gravitational wave data and developing software to interpret many signals. As well as making some contributions to the Bayesian inference software used by the collaboration for the results in this paper, he played a major role in leading the review of the software's correctness. He led the review of the output of the software for this paper, i.e., the inferred probability distributions on the source parameter (e.g., neutron star masses, the system's distance, the systems sky location, and the nuclear equation of state parameters), which were used to make astrophysical inferences.
