The Chirp-Mass Ladder: A New Rung Emerges

We study the binary black hole (BBH) population observed through gravitational waves (GWs) using 256 events from the latest release of GWTC-5.0. The inferred chirp-mass distribution shows prominent peaks at approximately 7.5 M ⊙ , 14 M ⊙ , and 27 M ⊙ , with subsequent peaks space...
