The Cosmic Coalescence Rates for Double Neutron Star Binaries
The Cosmic Coalescence Rates for Double Neutron Star Binaries
We report on the newly increased event rates due to the recent discovery of the highly relativistic binary pulsar J0737-3039. Using a rigorous statistical method, we present the calculations reported by Burgay et al., which produce a coalescence rate for Galactic double neutron star (DNS) systems that is higher by …
