No definitive lensing is detected in GW231123, though a potential microlensing feature with modulation amplitude up to 0.8 at 95% confidence is noted, limited by large waveform systematics in short signals.

Efficient mass transfer in binaries naturally limits the mass of the first-born black hole and produces a sharp drop above 45 solar masses that mimics the pair-instability gap.
Introduces a frequentist p-value approach to falsify models of binary black hole formation for events such as GW190521, showing some models are adequate while others are not.
Stellar models show that the 12C(alpha,gamma)16O rate uncertainty moves the black hole mass gap, constraining its S300 to 137.6-263.4 keV barn when matched to the observed gap from gravitational waves.
Long-term multi-band photometry of SN 2019vxm shows initial thick CSM interaction, photosphere decoupling at 80-100 days, long-lasting dust emission, and a possible outer CSM rebrightening, implying a massive progenitor with extreme pre-explosion mass loss.
SN 2025ngs is a short-plateau supernova resembling SN 1998S but fainter, with spectral evidence for interaction with a proximate ring-like circumstellar medium around a supergiant progenitor.

Long-term optical and near-infrared photometric evolution of SN 2019vxm, an interacting Type IIn supernova
Long-term multi-band photometry of SN 2019vxm shows initial thick CSM interaction, photosphere decoupling at 80-100 days, long-lasting dust emission, and a possible outer CSM rebrightening, implying a massive progenitor with extreme pre-explosion mass loss.

The Eye of Sauron in SN 2025ngs: a Short-plateau Cousin of SN 1998S with Evidence for a Ring-like Circumstellar Medium
SN 2025ngs is a short-plateau supernova resembling SN 1998S but fainter, with spectral evidence for interaction with a proximate ring-like circumstellar medium around a supergiant progenitor.
