BBH-Genesis applied to GWTC-4 finds strongest support for a two-channel model of binary black hole populations with possible mild evidence for an AGN-related third channel.
Segue 1 has a metallicity distribution with mean [Fe/H] = -2.52 dex and dispersion 0.59 dex showing no subpopulations, consistent with continuous star formation lasting less than 1 Gyr before reionization.
