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.
Extended-data Bayesian reanalysis of GW190814 finds no evidence for tertiary-induced line-of-sight acceleration or residual eccentricity due to strong degeneracy between the two effects.

Binary Evolution Can Mimic the Pair-Instability Mass Gap in Black Hole Mergers
