The differential merger rate of NSBH systems as a function of black hole masses (solid curves: mean; shaded regions: 90% credible interval) and minimum black hole mass (dashed lines: 90% credible interval) using the NSBH-POP model with (teal) and without (gray) GW230529. The minimum black hole mass ﹩{m}_{\mathrm{BH},\min }﹩ is a parameter of the NSBH-POP population model; see Table 7. While the median rate is always inside the credible region, the mean can be outside the credible region.
