Non-detection of kilonova from S250206dm excludes AT 2017gfo-like events and disfavors NS-BH mergers with mass ratio Q >= 3.2, reaching GW-comparable precision on the mass gap candidate.

Lower BNS merger rates from GWTC-4 data produce tensions of factors 3.6-18 with SGRB rates, 0.9-4.1 with r-process rates, and 2.3-5.1 with Galactic DNS rates.
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.

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