- Author contribution statement
- I led the team in charge of the extraction of the GW information from the signal for this paper,
coordinating several analyses across the LIGO-Virgo collaboration. The section “Bayesian methods” uses the software I co-created, and contains the numbers from the analysis of the collaboration working group that I co-chaired. Figures 1, 2 and 3 use the output of that analysis to constrain the neutron star properties, which are quoted throughout the “Results” section.
