Dynamical pairing in gravitational wave populations
Binary black holes formed dynamically in star clusters are often associated with nearly equal-mass pairing. We show that this expectation is incomplete. The more general prediction of dynamical assembly is an ordered-pairing relation in which the two black holes are drawn independently from a common one--body mass spec...
