A new redshift-correlation technique with third-generation GW detectors can constrain the BNS contribution to cosmic r-process nucleosynthesis to 5-6% precision via Fisher forecasts on mock bright- and dark-siren data.
Detection of GW190814 from the coalescence of a 23 solar-mass black hole and a 2.6 solar-mass compact object, the most unequal-mass binary yet observed with gravitational waves.
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.
Simulations show hierarchical subsolar-mass mergers in collapsar disks can retain eccentricity up to e~0.1 at merger as a potential observational signature.
Statistical combination of sub-threshold post-merger signals from 50-70 BNS events can constrain the maximum mass of hot neutron stars to 11-20% fractional uncertainty, potentially translating to 12-21% on the cold TOV mass.
GWTC-5 chirp-mass peaks form a ~1.9-spaced ladder with a new ~19 M⊙ rung matching predicted 2G+3G mergers, unifying prior 1G+2G spin-transition groups under one hierarchical scenario.
Mass-gap compact objects could be hybrid stars only with very early deconfinement and stiff quark matter; confirming 1.4 M⊙ twin stars would cap hybrid-star maximum mass below 2.2 M⊙.
Joint NICER+IXPE pulse-profile modeling of SRGA J144459.2-604207 favors large neutron-star mass and radius with two independent hotspots but shows strong sensitivity to joint-analysis methodology.
Multi-messenger observations of neutron stars imply L=42.6–52 MeV (piecewise polytrope) or 44.2–56.7 MeV (speed-of-sound) at 68% credibility, and show pQCD constraints barely change the posterior EOS.
Free neutrons survive r-process freeze-out in fast ejecta of neutron star mergers and their beta-decay heating produces a visible early kilonova precursor for mass fractions above ~0.05.
Population synthesis of helium star-NS systems yields DNS delay time distributions that peak between 80-250 Myr across metallicities, with 15% merging within 80 Myr and over 20% after 1 Gyr.
Las Cumbres achieves minute-scale GW response and GW170817-depth imaging to 250 Mpc, but galaxy-targeted follow-up is inefficient for the large O3/O4 localizations, requiring coordinated wide-field plus rapid-response strategies.
A faint radio counterpart to SN 2025ulz was detected at 6-10 GHz, consistent with either supernova ejecta interacting with circumstellar material or an off-axis jet, supporting possible superkilonova scenarios.
Different parametrizations of density dependence in covariant density functionals produce significant variations in the high-density equation of state and symmetry energy, with rational-function forms providing flexibility when saturation properties are adjusted and constrained by multimessenger ast
Cosmic Explorer is described as a next-generation gravitational-wave observatory aiming for tenfold sensitivity improvement over Advanced LIGO to observe signals from the edge of the observable universe at z~100.
Hierarchical Bayesian analysis of ~50 binary pulsars finds moderate evidence for mass-spin anti-correlation (ρ = -0.26) in the recycled population, plus a small mass offset by white-dwarf companion type and confirmation of companion-mass–eccentricity correlation in DNS systems.
A targeted gravitational-wave search modifies the GstLAL likelihood ratio with a sky localization prior from EM triggers, showing improved detection efficiency in injection studies while controlling false alarms.
Simulations show the low-T/|W| instability develops robustly across five nuclear EOS in a rapidly rotating 35 M⊙ progenitor, with dominant GW frequency correlating to PNS compactness and stiffness.
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.
The paper proposes a high-redshift (z>2) origin for GRB 061201 by combining afterglow constraints with deep JWST near-infrared imaging of a faint candidate host.
Describes the methods for producing the fifth gravitational-wave transient catalog (GWTC-5.0) from O4b data of LIGO, Virgo and KAGRA.
Identifies eight Fermi-GBM sGRBs similar to 170817A via hardness-ratio K-means clustering and estimates ~5 GW+sGRB events by end of O4.
BILBY is validated on simulated compact binary signals and reproduces the eleven GWTC-1 results with configuration and output files provided for reproduction.
