Empirical Estimates of NS-NS Mergers in the Galaxy
Abstract
Binary neutron star (NS-NS) eystems with abort orbitel periods evolve by emission of gravitationel waves and eventually coelesce. We e!timate the rate of snch mergers in our Galaxy from the observations of known NS-NS binaries that have merger time scal.ee shorter than the Hubble time. We also explore the semdtivity of the e!timatee to assumptions about the initial position and velocity distributions.
