Constraints on the power-law slope αz that governs the evolution of the volumetric binary black hole merger rate with redshift (top) and the peak redshift zp beyond which the merger rate turns over (bottom), each as as function of primary mass. As in Figs. 3 and 5, the black lines show the 95% credible posterior bounds, the dashed cyan lines mark prior bounds, and the dotted magenta curves illustrate prior bounds after they were conditioned on the best-measured posteriors at m1 = 35 M⊙.
