- Author contribution statement
- Frohmaier was part of the ePESSTO collaboration that obtained one of the earliest spectra of this event. He was part of the observing team in Chile where he observed potential candidates in the days following LIGO detections. He reviewed the observational data and contributed to the scientific interpretation. The writing of the paper was led by Smartt, with Frohmaier contributing to the draft writing and proof-reading.
