Fig. A.2.

Final CO core masses of BH progenitors and their corresponding BH formation masses for the components (both primary and secondary) of detectable merging BH-BH systems in four of our models: M30, M50, M60, and M70 (see Table 2 for an overview of all the model ingredients). For readability, the filled areas encapsulate 96% of all the BHs, excluding few outliers and showcasing the MCO to MBH relation for the representative majority. The presented models are different in ways that affect the BH formation masses, that is, the PPSN/PSN prescription (see Sect. 2.3) as well as the assumed fraction of mass lost in neutrinos during a BH formation (1% in M30, M50, M70, and 10% in M60). We note that model M70 only differs from M30 and M50 for MCO ≳ 32.4 M⊙, whereas model M50 only differs from M30 for MCO > 37.5 M⊙. Those threshold core masses correspond to the threshold helium core masses MHe in different models PPSN/PSN prescriptions.
