This paper presents the first public data release of samples from the posterior probability density function for the three binary black hole mergers---GW170104, GW170608, and GW170814---detected during the second observing run of the Advanced LIGO and Virgo observatories.

We find that the tidal deformability and 90$\%$ credible interval is $\tilde{\Lambda}=310^{+679}_{-234}$ for a uniform component mass prior, $\tilde{\Lambda}=354^{+691}_{-245}$ for a component mass prior informed by radio observations of Galactic double neutron stars, and $\tilde{\Lambda}=334^{+669}_{-241}$ for a component mass prior informed by radio pulsars.
