Statistics of merging BBHs and IMBHs from the GAMESH simulation.

Model # BBH Mergers # Obs. BBH Mergers # Obs. BBH Mergers MW # IMBHs
RAPSTER 1.14 × 106 [2.39 × 104] 4.09 × 105 [5.44 × 103] 3.87 × 105 [5.13 × 103] 238 (4)
FASTCLUSTER 7.06 × 105 [1.21 × 103] 4.21 × 105 [18] 3.17 × 105 [15] 0

Notes. Columns indicate the total number of merging BBHs (M1 ≤ 100 M), the number of systems observable by terrestrial interferometers, the number of events formed within the MW, and the number of IMBHs (M1 > 1000 M) in the MW disk. The number of MBBHs (100 M < M1 ≤ 1000 M) is shown in square brackets, while values for IMBHs that migrated into the MW’s halo are in round parentheses.
