This page contains the data release associated with the publication General-relativistic precession in a black-hole binary from Hannam, M. et al. In this publication we show that one of the events in the most recent LIGO-Virgo-Kagra (LVK) data release exhibits general relativistic orbital precession. The event is GW200129_065458.

Here, we release the posterior samples (*.h5) that were obtained in this analysis. The gravitational-wave strain data, power spectral densitites and calibration envelopes can all be accessed via the Gravitational Wave Open Science Center (https://www.gw-openscience.org), a service of LIGO Laboratory, the LIGO Scientific Collaboration and the Virgo Collaboration. To access these files see,

We encourage use of these data in future work. If you use the material provided here, please cite the paper and data release using the references:
