While the unusual mass and spin of some of the discovered objects constrain progenitor scenarios, the observed mergers are consistent with multiple interpretations. A promising approach to solve this question is to consider the observed distributions of binary properties and compare them to expectations from different origin scenarios. Here we describe a new hierarchical population analysis framework to assess the relative contribution of different formation channels simultaneously. For this study we considered binary formation in active galactic nucleus (AGN) disks along with phenomenological models, but the same framework can be extended to other models. We find that high-mass and high-mass-ratio binaries appear more likely to have an AGN origin compared to having the same origin as lower-mass events. Future observations of high-mass black hole mergers could further disentangle the AGN component from other channels.","lang":"eng"}],"year":"2023","date_created":"2024-09-05T08:52:25Z","date_updated":"2024-09-10T13:31:17Z","publication":"The Astrophysical Journal Letters","publisher":"American Astronomical Society","article_number":"L29","_id":"17513","author":[{"last_name":"Gayathri","full_name":"Gayathri, V.","first_name":"V."},{"last_name":"Wysocki","full_name":"Wysocki, Daniel","first_name":"Daniel"},{"last_name":"Yang","full_name":"Yang, Y.","first_name":"Y."},{"last_name":"Delfavero","full_name":"Delfavero, Vera","first_name":"Vera"},{"last_name":"O’Shaughnessy","first_name":"R.","full_name":"O’Shaughnessy, R."},{"id":"7c006e8c-cc0d-11ee-8322-cb904ef76f36","first_name":"Zoltán","full_name":"Haiman, Zoltán","last_name":"Haiman"},{"full_name":"Tagawa, H.","first_name":"H.","last_name":"Tagawa"},{"last_name":"Bartos","full_name":"Bartos, I.","first_name":"I."}],"user_id":"317138e5-6ab7-11ef-aa6d-ffef3953e345","oa":1,"quality_controlled":"1","publication_identifier":{"issn":["2041-8205","2041-8213"]},"publication_status":"published","oa_version":"Published Version","article_processing_charge":"No","day":"13"}
