Neutron Star Merger Rates from Multi-messenger Observations: Clues to the Physical Origin of the Short and Long-short Gamma-ray Bursts
Zhi-Ping Jin, Yuan-Zhu Wang, Yin-Jie Li +4
Short and long-short gamma-ray bursts (GRBs) are widely believed to be powered by neutron star mergers. In this work, we calculate local rate of such GRBs and find a relatively hig…
