Parameter estimation for heavy binary-black holes with networks of second-generation gravitational-wave detectors

The era of gravitational-wave astronomy started with the discovery of the binary black hole coalescences (BBH) GW150914 and GW151226 by the LIGO instruments. These systems allowed for the first direct measurement of masses and spins of black holes. The component masses in each of the systems have be...
