Description

As a member of the LVK Collaboration, I will review the third Gravitational Wave Transient Catalog (GWTC-3) describing the signals detected with Advanced LIGO and Advanced Virgo up to the end of their third observing run. I will focus on the parameter estimation part of the catalog, giving details on the main inference methods and checks we do to assess whether a given result is reasonable. I will then show this formalism in action with two events GW200322_091133 and GW191219_163120 both in the wider context of the Catalog and individually based on their inference results.
