Fig. 1, panel (1)

Redshift $z$ against merger mass $M$ ($M_{\odot}$) on log-log axes. Dots are simulated mergers: stellar-mass black holes (orange), IMBHs (cyan) and a hypothetical primordial population (violet); curves are the sensitivity contours of AEDGE, AION-km, ET, LIGO and LISA. The print's black background, its white AION-km and AEDGE contours and its epoch labels are not reproduced.
