Figure 8: Comparative SNRs, as a function of redshifted black-hole mass , for the last
year of inspiral of an equal-mass MBH binary and for the ringdown after the merger of the system. The
method used to generate this figure follows that of [182], updated to use a modern LISA sensitivity
curve [277] with a low-frequency cutoff of . The redshift is set to , at which
the luminosity distance is using WMAP 7-year parameters [271].
