The pith
A machine-rendered reading of the paper's core claim, the machinery that carries it, and where it could break.
The reading
What carries the argument
The rate estimation chain runs from a binary population synthesis model (alpha10.kb_beta0.9) generating 10^7 mock BNS mergers with component masses and redshifts, through calibrated fits to numerical relativity simulations mapping those masses to ejecta masses and remnant disk masses, through a Blandford-Znajek jet-launching model setting sGRB and afterglow energies, through an elliptical power-law density lensing model (EPL with external shear) producing multiple images with magnification factors and time delays, to a Bayesian framework for identifying lensed host galaxies within gravitational-wave localization regions. Detection criteria combine gravitational-wave signal-to-noise ratios,电磁
What would settle it
If next-generation gravitational-wave detectors observe that the binary neutron star mass distribution or merger rate density evolution at high redshift differs substantially from the alpha10.kb_beta0.9 model predictions, the ejecta mass and jet energy distributions—and thus the kilonova and afterglow luminosity functions—would shift, potentially changing the predicted lensed detection rates by factors of several in either direction.
Extended reading notes
Core claim
The paper's central result is a set of detection-rate estimates for lensed electromagnetic counterparts of binary neutron star mergers, showing that kilonovae are the most accessible signal (approximately 0.45–0.55 detections per year in near-infrared bands with a pointed lens-targeting strategy), while sGRBs and afterglows are substantially harder—sGRBs requiring gamma-ray sensitivity more than ten times beyond current instruments for even one detection per decade, and afterglows being detectable primarily in X-rays at 0.5–5 events per decade. The pointed strategy targeting pre-identified galaxy-scale lens candidates yields an identifiable lensed-host fraction of 0.15–0.30, which the paper取
Load-bearing premise
The entire rate estimation depends on a binary population synthesis model correctly predicting the distribution of neutron star masses, mass ratios, and merger rate evolution out to redshifts of about 2. If the true binary neutron star population at high redshift differs—for instance, having a different mass distribution or merger rate evolution—the predicted electromagnetic counterpart rates could shift by factors of several.
Editorial extensions
If this is right
- If the predicted kilonova detection rate of ~0.5/yr holds, a decade of operation with CE+ET and an RST-like facility could accumulate 5–15 lensed kilonova events, enabling time-delay cosmography with gravitational-wave sources as independent distance indicators.
- The pointed lens-candidate strategy could be validated even before CE/ET operations begin by testing it on simulated or real O4-era lensed GW candidates, measuring the fraction of lensed hosts recoverable with current survey depths.
- If supramassive neutron star remnants inject additional energy into kilonovae (as the paper notes but does not model), the kilonova detection rates could increase by a factor of two or more, making the infrared channel even more dominant.
- The rarity of lensed sGRB detections (~0.1/yr even with 10x Fermi-GBM sensitivity) implies that gamma-ray follow-up of lensed BNS events is not a viable primary detection channel and should be treated as a bonus rather than a baseline strategy.
Reading between the lines
- The pointed strategy's dependence on pre-existing lens catalogs means its effectiveness scales with survey completeness; Euclid, CSST, and Roman's wide-field lens surveys become enabling infrastructure for lensed multi-messenger astronomy, not just for their primary cosmology missions.
- If the BNS mass distribution at high redshift differs systematically from the population synthesis model—say, due to metallicity-dependent evolution or a different channel contribution—the ejecta mass and jet energy distributions shift, and the kilonova rate could move by factors of several in either direction, making early high-redshift BNS detections critical for calibrating the model.
- The dominance of double-image cases over triples and quadruples in the detection rates suggests that Einstein ring and cross configurations, while visually striking, contribute negligibly to the lensed multi-messenger event budget.

Referee Report
Summary. This manuscript estimates detection rates of strongly lensed electromagnetic counterparts (sGRBs, kilonovae, afterglows) associated with lensed binary neutron star (BNS) gravitational-wave events detectable by third-generation detectors (Cosmic Explorer and Einstein Telescope). The authors extend prior work (Ma et al. 2023) by using a binary population synthesis model to generate diverse BNS parameters rather than fixing all systems to GW170817-like values. Ejecta masses and jet energies are derived from component masses via fitted numerical-relation formulas, kilonova light curves are modeled with an anisotropic multi-component model, and afterglows are computed with AfterglowPy. A complementary pointed follow-up strategy targeting pre-identified galaxy-scale lens candidates is introduced. The main findings are: (1) lensed sGRBs are rare (~0.1/yr even with 10x Fermi-GBM sensitivity); (2) the identifiable lensed-host fraction is 0.15–0.30; (3) RST-like infrared facilities could detect lensed kilonovae at ~0.45–0.55/yr; (4) lensed afterglows are detectable mainly in X-rays with ATHENA (~0.5–5 events per decade). The methodology is internally consistent and validated against Colombo et al. (2022) and Yu et al. (2021).
Significance. The paper provides a timely and detailed forecast for lensed multi-messenger BNS science in the third-generation GW era. The use of a population synthesis model to sample BNS component masses—rather than assuming all systems resemble GW170817—is a genuine improvement over Ma et al. (2023) and makes the predicted kilonova and afterglow luminosity functions more representative. The pointed follow-up strategy targeting pre-identified lens candidates is a practical and well-motivated complement to wide-field ToO searches. The falsifiable, quantitative rate predictions for specific telescope/detector combinations (Table 1, Figures 4 and 8) are useful for observational planning. The validation against independent published rates (Colombo et al. 2022; Yu et al. 2021) lends credibility to the pipeline.
major comments (3)
- Section 2.1 discusses a duty-cycle correction of ~20–30% for GW detector downtime but this correction does not appear to be applied to the rates in Table 1. The note to Table 1 lists duty cycle as an 'additional uncertainty' rather than a correction already incorporated. If the quoted rates in Table 1 and the abstract do not include this factor, they are systematically overestimated by ~20–30%. The authors should clarify whether the duty-cycle correction is included in all quoted rates, and if not, either apply it or state explicitly that rates are upper limits assuming 100% duty cycle.
- Section 2.2 and Appendix A.1: The kilonova luminosity function depends on ejecta masses computed via the Krüger & Foucart (2020) fits (Eqs. A1–A3), which require NS compactness derived from the SLy EOS (M_TOV = 2.06 M⊙). This is a single EOS choice. Alternative EOSs (e.g., APR4, DD2) would yield different compactness for the same component masses, shifting ejecta masses and thus f_KN and the final detection rates. The paper does not quantify this sensitivity. The authors should at minimum provide an estimate of how much f_KN or the kilonova detection rate changes under a different EOS choice, or discuss the range of uncertainty this introduces.
- Section 2.2: The opacity and energy normalization parameters (κ_low = 44.7, κ_high = 0.43, κ_wind = 33.5, κ_vis = 47.8, ε₀ = 183.4×10¹⁸) are fixed to GW170817-fitted values and assumed universal across the BNS population. Given that the authors themselves note GW170817 'likely ranks among the most luminous kilonovae,' fixing these parameters to GW170817 may bias the luminosity function. The authors should discuss whether these parameters are expected to vary with ejecta composition (which depends on mass ratio and remnant lifetime) and how sensitive the final rates are to this assumption.
minor comments (7)
- Section 2.2: The text lists 'κ_low = 44.7 cm²/g' and then 'κ_low = 0.43 cm²/g' for high-elevation opacity. The second should be κ_high. This is a typo.
- Figure 1 caption: The x-axis label reads 'mF158' but the figure shows distributions for three bands (F106, F158, F213). The label should be generic (e.g., 'm_AB') or the caption should clarify that the x-axis applies to all three bands.
- Section 2.3, Eq. (12): The variable 'a' is defined as a(θ, θ_v) but the subscript notation is inconsistent with Eq. (13) where 'a' appears without arguments. Minor notational cleanup needed.
- Table 1: The 'Relative fraction' column header could be more explicit (e.g., 'Lensed fraction among all detectable lensed BNS GW events'). The current phrasing is slightly ambiguous.
- Section 4.5: The Vega-to-AB conversion (Eq. 18) uses 1090 Jy as the Vega flux in F158. A reference or derivation for this zero-point value would be helpful for reproducibility.
- Section 2.4: The 10-hour response time is justified but the statement that a 1-hour response would enhance rates by a factor of ~2–3 is stated without derivation. A brief justification or reference would strengthen this claim.
- The abstract states rates as '~0.45^{+0.81}_{-0.34}' etc. The large asymmetric error bars (upper errors nearly 2x the central value) suggest a highly skewed posterior from the merger rate uncertainty. A brief note in the abstract or at first mention in Section 4.4 explaining the source of this asymmetry would aid interpretation.
Circularity Check
No significant circularity; forward-modeling pipeline with external calibrations throughout
full rationale
The paper is a forward-modeling prediction study. The detection rates are computed by propagating a mock BNS population (from Chu et al. 2022, rescaled to GWTC-4) through ejecta-mass fitting formulas (Krüger & Foucart 2020; Dietrich & Ujevic 2017), kilonova light-curve models calibrated to AT2017gfo (Breschi et al. 2021; Villar et al. 2017), afterglow models fitted to GW170817 data (Makhathini et al. 2021), and lensing magnification from an EPL profile with SLACS-survey parameters (Koopmans et al. 2009). No step feeds the target detection rate back into the inputs. The self-citations (Chen et al. 2022b for the host-galaxy Bayesian formalism, Chen et al. 2025a/b for discussion points) are not load-bearing: Eq. 15 is standard Bayes' theorem, and the host identification criteria come from Collett (2015). The consistency check in Section 2.4 validates the afterglow pipeline against Colombo et al. (2022) rates, providing an external benchmark. The systematic uncertainties flagged by the reader (single EOS choice, GW170817-fixed opacities, population model evolution) are legitimate correctness/modeling risks but do not constitute circularity — they are external assumptions with stated limitations, not definitions that make the output equivalent to the input by construction.

abstract
The gravitational lensing of multi-messenger signals from binary neutron star mergers (BNSs), including gravitational waves (GWs), short Gamma-Ray bursts (sGRBs), kilonovae, and afterglows, can serve as a unique probe to constrain the mass of the graviton and cosmological parameters. In this paper, we estimate the detection rates of lensed electromagnetic counterparts associated with lensed BNS GW events detected by Cosmic Explorer and Einstein Telescope. For kilonovae and afterglows, we further consider a complementary pointed follow-up strategy targeting pre-identified galaxy-scale lens candidates within the GW localization region. By utilizing both numerical and observational constraints on BNS mergers, we find that: (1) Future $\gamma$-ray telescopes, even with a sensitivity more than ten times better than that of Fermi-GBM, may only detect lensed sGRB prompt emission at a rate $\sim 0.1$ yr$^{-1}$, corresponding to $\sim 2\times 10^{-3}$ of detectable lensed BNS GW events. (2) For the known-lens pointed strategy, the identifiable lensed-host fraction is approximately $0.15-0.30$ for the fiducial deep lens-catalog case considered, suggesting a possible gain in per-lens sensitivity for faint kilonovae and afterglows. (3) An RST-like near-infrared facility could detect lensed kilonovae at rates of approximately $\sim 0.45^{+0.81}_{-0.34}$, $0.55^{+0.98}_{-0.41}$, and $0.078^{+0.139}_{-0.059}$ yr$^{-1}$ in the F106, F158, and F213 bands, respectively. (4) Lensed afterglows remain difficult to detect in the optical and radio bands, while ATHENA-like X-ray observations may detect $0.5-5$ events over ten years.
