Table B.2
Summary table for all the background cosmology and models available in ICAROGW. The same mass models are also available for NSBH binaries. NSBH models also include three extra parameters: that are the minimum and maximum mass of the NS and the smoothing window for the lower end of the NS mass spectrum, respectively. More details on the models can be found in Sect. B.2.
