Notes. The first solid line splits systems merging within the Hubble time from those that do not. The last two entries have no total mass measurements, and therefore their DNS nature is uncertain. Nonetheless, they are promising candidates due to their eccentricity.

(a)

Due to uncertain masses, merger times values are only estimates.

(b)

Merger time unavailable due to the lack of a total system mass measurement.

(c)

Total mass quoted from the direct DDGR fit, component masses quoted from the DDGR χ2 mapping marginal one-dimensional likelihood distributions, shown in Fig. 2 and explained in Sect. 3.
