Posterior samples of the parameters of binary black holes from Advanced LIGO, Virgo's second observing run

Understand

This paper presents a parameter estimation analysis of the seven binary black hole mergers---GW170104, GW170608, GW170729, GW170809, GW170814, GW170818, and GW170823---detected during the second observing run of the Advanced LIGO and Virgo observatories using the gravitational-wave open data.

• We describe the methodology for parameter estimation of compact binaries using gravitational-wave data, and we present the posterior distributions of the inferred astrophysical parameters.
• We release our samples of the posterior probability density function with tutorials on using and replicating our results presented in this paper.
