Primary BH mass (upper panels) and mass ratio (lower panels) differential merger rate density in the Local Volume for models A (left), B (center), and C (right) in the Tidal evolutionary case. We show the mass distribution resulting from isolated BBH mergers (blue solid line), 1g BBH mergers in GCs (yellow dash-dotted line), and all BBH mergers in GCs (including hierarchical mergers, salmon dashed line). The black dashed line is the median value of the POWER LAW + PEAK model inferred from GWTC-3 (Abbott et al. 2023b). The gray shaded areas are the corresponding 90% credible intervals: these are shown only for a qualitative comparison, because our simulations do not assume the parametric models adopted by the LVK. We refer to Appendix D for a quantitative analysis.
