Neutron Star–Black Hole Coalescence Rate Inferred from Macronova Observations
Neutron Star–Black Hole Coalescence Rate Inferred from Macronova Observations
Neutron star$-$black hole (NS$-$BH) coalescences are widely believed to be promising gravitational wave sources in the era of advanced detectors of LIGO/Virgo but such binaries have never been directly detected yet. Evidence for NS$-$BH coalescences have been suggested in short and hybrid GRB observations, which are examined critically. Based on …
