From: AEDGE: Atomic Experiment for Dark Matter and Gravity Exploration in Space
Comparison of the strain measurements possible with AEDGE and other experiments, showing their sensitivities to BH mergers of differing total masses at various redshifts z, indicating also the time remaining before the merger. The solid lines correspond to equal mass binaries and the dashed ones to binaries with very different masses, namely \(3000M_{\odot }\) and \(30M_{\odot }\). Also shown is the possible gravitational gradient noise (GGN) level for a km-scale terrestrial detector, which would need to be mitigated for its potential to be realized. This figure illustrates the potential for synergies between AEDGE and detectors observing other stages of BH infall and merger histories
