99th percentile of the primary (solid) and secondary (dashed) mass distributions for the main population and subpopulation. These are calculated directly from Figure 2. The main population’s merger rate declines above 46M in both primary and secondary mass, whereas the subpopulation declines above ≈55M in secondary mass and beyond 110M in primary mass.
