Source: GWOSC( https://gwosc.org/) | From GWTC 1 through GWTC-4.
Tools: Matplotlib, Pandas
Must visit TheScientificDrop.com for further breakdown
This is super interesting. Why are BBH the only events with such big z?
Abbreviations:
* BBH: Binary Black Hole merger
* BNS: Binary Neutron Star collision
* NSBH: Neutron Star – Black Hole merger
It pleases me that this plot resembles the shape of a gravitational wave chirp

Why do some of the dots have different sizes? What does the size of the dot mean?
