Observational analysis of EMP stars including a new r-process enhanced star G256353 whose heavy-element pattern matches scaled solar and neutron-star-merger predictions, supporting r-process universality.
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.
New abundance measurements confirm two stars as r-II and one as borderline r-I, with r-process material older than 10 Gyr and possible links to the Thamnos structure.
Magnetorotational r-process best explains lighter elements and CEJSN explains the third peak based on scatter and iron correlations in early metal-poor stars.
