The Swift short gamma-ray burst rate density: prospects for detecting binary neutron star mergers by aLIGO
David Coward, Eric Howell, Tsvi Piran +6
Presently only 30% of short gamma ray bursts (SGRBs) have accurate redshifts, and this sample is highly biased by the limited sensitivity of {\it Swift} to detect SGRBs. We account…

The Swift short gamma-ray burst rate density: implications for binary neutron star merger rates
David Coward, Eric Howell, Tsvi Piran +6
Short gamma-ray bursts (SGRBs) observed by {\it Swift} are potentially revealing the first insight into cataclysmic compact object mergers. To ultimately acquire a fundamental unde…
