Orbital period versus mass ratio distribution of BH-star binaries that evolved from initially massive star systems at the moment of the first BH formation. This also includes the systems that evolved through CE. The progenitors of BH–BH mergers via the two formation scenarios, CE and SMT, are marked by the black dots. The presented results are for our default physical model.
