Note: The LIGO
Scientific Collaboration and its partners (here, “LIGO Collaboration”) have
strict and complex authorship rules due to the highly collaborative nature of
producing gravitational wave data. Being the lead author on a full collaboration
paper (which have on the order of 1,000 co-authors with LSC members’ names
alphabetized) is a major achievement. The lead designs and carries out the
scientific analysis and defends the paper before the collaboration.
** Indicates
