No kilonova detected from sub-solar GW candidate S251112cm, but coincident IIb supernova SN 2025adtq yields suggestive evidence for the superkilonova channel, though inconclusive after accounting for chance coincidence.
Restricting analysis to the top 1% most luminous galaxies in GW localization volumes yields 1-4 candidate hosts for three specific events, with 29-36% probability of random association.
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.
Host galaxy analysis rules out a globular cluster origin for the GRB 230307A kilonova and shows a disk-formed BNS merger with natal kicks can reach the observed offset in only 0.1% of population-synthesis realizations.
BILBY is validated on simulated compact binary signals and reproduces the eleven GWTC-1 results with configuration and output files provided for reproduction.
GWTC-5.0 is a data release documenting over 300 gravitational-wave events from compact binary mergers observed through early 2025.
