Simulations show double neutron star mergers peak 80-250 million years after star formation across metallicities, with 15% quick mergers and over 20% delayed over a billion years.

A one-zone model shows that observed [Y/Eu] and [Sr/Eu] trends require a prompt first-peak channel, delayed BNS mergers dominating Eu, and delayed AGB s-process with t_min > 0.3 Gyr.
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.
Magnetorotational r-process best explains lighter elements and CEJSN explains the third peak based on scatter and iron correlations in early metal-poor stars.
