Understand

The LIGO-Virgo analyses of signals from compact binary mergers observed so far have assumed isolated binary systems in a vacuum, neglecting the potential presence of astrophysical environments.

We present here the first investigation of environmental effects on each of the events of GWTC-1 and two low-mass events from GWTC-2.
We find no evidence for the presence of environmental effects.
Most of the events decisively exclude the scenario of dynamical fragmentation of massive stars as their formation channel.
