The GWTC-4 BNS merger rate is 28–300 Gpc^-3 yr^-1, a factor of 3.6–18 lower than the cosmological short GRB rate and 2.3–5.1 lower than Galactic DNS estimates, implying an emerging tension among neutron-star merger probes.

A second coherent radio burst spanning 704-4032 MHz with spectral index -2.18, 54% linear and 22% circular polarization, and an orthogonal polarization angle jump was detected from 2XMM J104608.7-594306, showing rare radio activity in sources thought to be radio-quiet.
GRB 250706B/C exhibits temporal features consistent with fallback-regulated accretion operating on a high-luminosity branch in a collapsar.
GRB 061201 originates from a host at z~1.2 rather than the previously claimed z=0.111, supported by photometric redshift, afterglow AIC modeling, energy relation consistency, and reduced merger rate implications.
Hadronic pp collisions dominate pair loading via pion cascades in magnetar-like outflows from neutron star mergers, channeling magnetic energy into e± and seeding neutrinos up to ~300 MeV.
Simulations predict Argus and DSA will serendipitously catch GRB afterglows at rates of ~47/yr (Argus, reliable-fade metric) and ~82/yr (DSA) for Fermi/GBM LGRBs, with ~116 optical and ~217 radio orphan afterglows per year.
Simulated GW–FRB associations show Cosmic Explorer can constrain cosmology and host DM without redshifts, while current LIGO-Virgo cannot.
Simulations indicate that an optimized CTAO strategy could detect GeV-TeV emission from about 5% of GW-associated short GRBs, with detectability depending strongly on jet and viewing angles.
Latest GW neutron star merger rates are consistent with short GRBs being produced by BNS mergers if jets are wide or rates low, with NSBH mergers subdominant.

Implications of low neutron star merger rates for gamma-ray bursts, r-process production and Galactic double neutron stars

Wide Jets or Low Rates: Reconciling Short GRB and Gravitational-Wave Neutron Star Merger Rates
