Figure 19: The current best empirical estimates of the coalescence rates of relativistic binaries involving neutron stars. The individual contributions from each known binary system are shown as dashed lines, while the solid line shows the total probability density function on a logarithmic and (inset) linear scale. The left panel shows the most recent analysis for DNS binaries [191], while the right panel shows the equivalent results for NS–WD binaries [193]. Figures provided by Chunglee Kim. |
