Einstein Telescope will possibly observe mergers of binary black holes (BBHs) and binary neutron stars (BNSs) to redshift z≳10 and z≳2, respectively. Thus, we will be able to characterize the evolution of binary compact objects through cosmic history. Here, we show that constraining the merger rate density and mass evolution of BBHs across cosmic time is a powerful tool to shed...

Next-generation GW observations will uncover binary black holes throughout the entire Universe back to the beginning of star formation, and will detect new source types (if they exist) beyond stellar-mass binaries, such as intermediate-mass black holes. A number of key questions can be posed that will find an answer:
1) What is the merger rate as a function of redshift to the beginning of the...
