A parametrized analytical model for BBH mass ratios from the stable mass transfer channel is derived and applied to the 10 solar-mass peak in GWTC-4, favoring little mass-ratio reversal.
High-metallicity star cluster simulations produce black hole mergers with masses and ratios consistent with recent LVK detections, unlike low-metallicity models.
