The conventional view of stellar-mass binary black hole (sBBH) mergers is that there should not be enough matter present to produce a detectable electromagnetic transient. However, there ARE a number of mechanisms for producing such a counterpart through accretion of matter from various reserves, charged black holes, or interactions with magnetic or exotic fields. After reviewing these mechanisms, we describe what we can learn from multi-messenger observations of sBBH mergers in the areas of stellar evolution and compact binary formation, cosmological measurements, searches for charged black holes, and tests of general relativity and fundamental physics. We end with some remarks about the need to support both observing capabilities and modeling in the next decade and beyond.

  1. Not too close! Evaluating the impact of the baseline on the localization of binary black holes by next-generation gravitational-wave detectors

    gr-qc 2026-04 conditional novelty 4.0

    Baselines of 8-11 ms light travel time for two CE detectors provide a reasonable compromise for BBH sky localization, with third detectors eliminating multimodality for most or all events.
