A meta-analysis of 1490 BBH merger rate predictions from 57 studies shows substantial subsets reproduce or underestimate the observed rate, indicating that apparent crises are model-dependent rather than universal.

Stable mass transfer produces two distinct peaks in merging binary black hole primary mass and mass ratio distributions via mass ratio reversal under conservative mass transfer.
Reduces elliptic triple outcome model to one free parameter, matches N-body simulations except at low angular momentum, and finds observably eccentric merger fractions of 2.6-4.4% in 10^5-10^7 solar mass clusters.
A synthesis of observational data on red novae as stellar merger events, including outburst properties, progenitor diversity, and long-term remnants.
