Posterior on the merger rate of binaries with one or both components between 3 and 5 M ⊙. The solid curves show the results from the BINNED GAUSSIAN PROCESS analysis, and the dashed curves show the results from the POWER LAW + DIP + BREAK analysis. Both models analyze the full black hole and neutron star mass distribution. The teal and gray curves show the analysis results with and without GW230529, respectively.
