Understand

We present a detailed investigation into the properties of GW170729, the gravitational wave with the most massive and distant source confirmed to date.

We employ an extensive set of waveform models, including new improved models that incorporate the effect of higher-order waveform modes which are particularly important for massive systems.
We find no indication of spin-precession, but the inclusion of higher-order modes in the models results in an improved estimate for the mass ratio of $(0.3-0.8)$ at the 90\% credible level.
Our updated measurement excludes equal masses at that level.
