Notes. In bold we highlight BH-BH merger rate densities for all the models for easy comparison with LIGO/Virgo data.

(a)

Local merger rate density at redshift z = 0 (note rate increase with z).

(b)

Detection rate for LIGO/Virgo mid-high range (O3 proxy).

(c)

Redshift for the most distant source detectable (best located/oriented).
