Dataset from "Isolated or Dynamical? Tracing Black Hole Binary Formation through the Population of Gravitational-Wave Sources"

Description

Simulation data from the publication "Isolated or Dynamical? Tracing Black Hole Binary Formation through the Population of Gravitational-Wave Sources" by Arca Sedda et al 

Each zipped directory contains merger rate density profiles and mock catalogues of BBH mergers formed from isolated binary evolution in galactic fields or dynamical interactions in young, globular, and nuclear clusters. The structure of the files is described in the B-POP main page (https://github.com/marcasedda/BPOP)
