Constraining properties of neutron star merger outflows with radio observations

Constraining properties of neutron star merger outflows with radio observations

ABSTRACT The jet opening angle and inclination of GW170817 – the first detected binary neutron star merger – were vital to understand its energetics, relation to short gamma-ray bursts, and refinement of the standard siren-based determination of the Hubble constant, H0. These basic quantities were determined through a combination of …
