Absolute rates? 2. Distribution of rates? 3. Direct detection of smoking gun signatures

7 Absolute rates Currently observed value: Gpc -3 yr -1 (powerlaw mass distribution prior, Abbott PRL ) galactic field binaries: Gpc -3 yr -1 (Belczynski+ 2016, Kruczkow+ 2018) galactic field triples: 2-25 Gpc -3 yr -1 (Silsbee & Tremaine 2017; Antonini, Toonen, Hamers 2017; Rodriguez & Antonini 2018) globular clusters: 5-15 Gpc -3 yr -1 (Rodriguez+ 2016,2017; Askar+ 2016; Fragione & Kocsis 2018) galactic nuclei: 1-15 Gpc -3 yr -1 (O Leary+ 2009, Antonini & Perets 2012, Antonini+ 2018, Hoang+ 2018) dark matter halos: Gpc -3 yr -1 primordial black holes (exotic) (Bird+ 2016, Ali-Haimud+ 2017, Sasaki+ 2016)

8 Upper limits on absolute rates Currently observed value: Gpc -3 yr -1 (powerlaw mass distribution prior, Abbott PRL ) Assume 100% of BHs merge at most once in a Hubble time BHs from stars with m>20m Sun, dn/dm ~ m % of stars turns into BHs globular clusters: R < 38 Gpc -3 yr % of stellar mass, stars with n ~ 0.8 Mpc -3 galactic nuclei: R < 30 Gpc -3 yr % of stellar mass, 10 7 stars with n ~ 0.02 Mpc -3
