GW190814 is proposed to originate from a collapsar-disk fragment merging with the central black hole, potentially preceded by SN2019npv ~60 days earlier, yielding H0 = 70.5 (+9.2, -6.4) km/s/Mpc.
Mass ratio reversals produce qualitatively different contributions to BBH merger rates and masses in COMPAS versus SEVN simulations, with core-growth dominating and most systems arising from massive low-metallicity progenitors.
N-body models of young and old dense star clusters show BBH mergers span primary masses from ~6 to >100 solar masses with a peak near 8 solar masses, reproducing the LIGO-inferred distribution, with low-mass mergers mostly from metal-rich clusters.

Mass Distribution of Binary Black Hole Mergers from Young and Old Dense Star Clusters
