New MESA stellar tracks with varied winds and convective mixing produce a primary black hole mass function with twin peaks near 8 and 13 solar masses in most variations, the higher peak dominated by mass-ratio-reversal systems, with rates varying by a factor of six.
Mock catalogs GW-LMC-Space predict 0-131 lensed MBHB events for 4-year LISA (prob. up to 0.3%) and 0-44 for 1-year DECIGO (prob. ~0.15%), with signal overlap noted as common.

Twin Peaks: Resolving Features in the Binary Black Hole Mass Function with COSMIC-METISSE
New MESA stellar tracks with varied winds and convective mixing produce a primary black hole mass function with twin peaks near 8 and 13 solar masses in most variations, the higher peak dominated by mass-ratio-reversal systems, with rates varying by a factor of six.
