Summary table of the significant quantitative findings.

Galactic DWD (spiraling) Extragalactic DWD (merging)
Quantity Value Ref. in text Value Ref. in text
Detectable (S/N > 8) 30 ± 5(stat) ± 6(sys) Sect. 5.1 10 ± 3(stat) ± 2(sys) Sect. 5.3
Total abundance (5.5 ± 0.007(stat) ± 1(sys)) · 105
Super-Ch. abundance (2 ± 0.01 (stat) ± 0.4(sys)) · 104 Sect. 3.1 50 ± 7(stat) ± 9(sys)
90% sky area [deg2] Median 8.6 · 10−3
95% interval [3.6 · 10−4,1.5 · 10−1] Sect. 5.3, Fig. 6
dL relative error Median 4.9 · 10−1
95% interval [6.3 · 10−2,1.5 · 101]
Fiducial volume [Mpc3] Median 1.5 · 10−3
95% interval [2.9 · 10−7,2.6 · 10−1]

Notes. The merging case refers to the contact scenario, as in the (very conservative) Roche scenario the extragalactic detection rate is negligible. The total and super-Chandrasekhar abundances refer to the systems with f > 1 mHz and dL < 30 Mpc. The observation time is 10 years in both cases.
