LIGO–Virgo–KAGRA's Oldest Black Holes: Probing Star Formation at Cosmic Noon With GWTC-3
M Fishbach, L van Son - The Astrophysical Journal Letters, 2023 - iopscience.iop.org
In their third observing run, the LIGO–Virgo–KAGRA gravitational-wave (GW) observatory
was sensitive to binary black hole (BBH) mergers out to redshifts z merge≈ 1. Because GWs …

The Binary Black Hole Merger Rate Deviates from the Cosmic Star Formation Rate: A Tug of War between Metallicity and Delay Times
Gravitational-wave detectors are now making it possible to investigate how the merger rate
of binary black holes (BBHs) evolves with redshift. In this study, we examine whether the …
