For relatively low-mass GW events, the GW signal in the aLIGO-sensitive frequency band is inspiral-dominated and the chirp mass is the most accurately measured mass parameter, while the mass ratio q=m /m cannot be measured as accurately (see Fig. 4 of Abbott et al.5). The 90% credible intervals on these for GW151226 and LVT151012 are , q?0.28 and , q?0.24, respectively5.
