Gravitational-wave detections are enabling measurements of the rate of coalescences of binaries composed of two compact objects -- neutron stars and/or black holes. The coalescence rate of binaries containing neutron stars is further constrained by electromagnetic observations, including Galactic radio binary pulsars and short gamma-ray bursts. Meanwhile, increasingly sophisticated models of compact objects merging through a variety of evolutionary channels produce a range of theoretically predicted rates. Rapid improvements in instrument sensitivity, along with plans for new and improved surveys, make this an opportune time to summarise the existing observational and theoretical knowledge of compact-binary coalescence rates.

A Galactic intermediate-mass stripped star with a Wolf-Rayet-like wind
WR 2-1 is the first unambiguous intermediate-mass stripped star in the Milky Way: a 3-6 solar mass, 60 kK helium-rich companion in a 5.94-day binary with a rapidly rotating O-star.

A Four-dimensional Model-agnostic Probe into the Astrophysical Origins of Binary Black Hole Subpopulations
A GPU-accelerated binned Gaussian process yields the first model-agnostic 4D BBH population in (m1, q, χeff, χp), revealing four mass-based subpopulations and new spin-mass-ratio correlations.

Gravitational Wave Modeling of White-Dwarf--Compact-Object Binaries and Observational Outlook
WD–CO binaries produce unique GW waveforms with a sharp f_max cutoff; LGWA/DECIGO will detect many end stages, while terrestrial detectors will not mistake them for sub-solar compact objects.

Formation of rotating supergiants via stellar mergers in dense clusters: Implications for black hole natal spins
Stellar mergers with mass ratio q≳0.3 in young clusters can produce blue-supergiant progenitors that leave black holes with dimensionless spins a≃0.5–0.8, reducing post-merger retention and hierarchical-merger rates.

Signatures of a subpopulation of hierarchical mergers in the GWTC-4 gravitational-wave dataset
Using a joint effective-spin and precession-spin model on 155 gravitational-wave events, the authors infer that the hierarchical (second-generation) merger fraction rises sharply above ~46 M_sun and peaks again near 1...
