GWTC-4 data analysis yields a pair-instability mass gap lower edge at 44.3^{+5.9}_{-3.5} M_⊙, an S-factor of 268^{+195}_{-116} keV b for ^{12}C(α,γ)^{16}O, and two populations supporting both direct formation and hierarchical mergers.

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.
Simulations of dynamical channels predict ~36 eccentric stellar-mass BBHs detectable by LISA in the Milky Way at SNR>1 over 10 years, a local merger rate of ~9 Gpc^{-3} yr^{-1}, and hundreds of faint extragalactic mHz sources.
A Kokkos-based C++ port of the SACRA numerical relativity code achieves ~10x speedup on GPU/APU over the Fortran CPU version while preserving waveform accuracy, pi-symmetry, and second-order convergence.
Simulations show LIGO-A# constrains the peak redshift of binary black hole merger rate (tracing star formation) to ±0.1 in one year, improving to ±0.02 with next-generation detectors.
A review of the MPM-PN approximation scheme that yields equations of motion to 4PN order and gravitational waveforms and fluxes to 4.5PN order for compact binary systems.
