Caveats
No source-specific caveats are recorded.
The predicted BNS merger rate of ~1-10 per 100 cubic megaparsecs per year (Gpc^-3 yr^-1) is currently consistent with fewer than ~5 confirmed BNS detections in O4, suggesting either intrinsic rarity or incomplete observational sensitivity below SNR~8.

vev_cd13c318ed98b73cfinding.caveatedVerifier caution: Finding claims BNS rate of 1-10 Gpc⁻³ yr⁻¹ consistent with <5 detections in O4. Web search reveals O4 preliminary rate is 56+99−40 Gpc⁻³ yr⁻¹ (much higher than 1-10 range), with more detections than claimed. The cited rate range and O4 consistency are both incorrect.
