The neutron star merger rate in the local Universe The rate density of neutron star merger can be calculated as For off-axis events, the rate may be enhanced by a factor (Jin et al. 2017) The time-lag consists of two parts, including: 1. The time of launching the ultra-relativistic ejecta (Depending on the collapse timescale of the merger remnant into black hole?) 2. The time of the energy dissipation (Depending on the energy dissipation mechanism) sGRB/GW association: time-lag Usually the time-lag is expected to be ~1ms-1s. sGRB/GW association: time-lag (Li et al. 2016) GRB/GW association: measuring GW velocity In GR the GW velocity is the speed of the light (c) In other theories the GW velocity could be either lower or higher than c. No direct measurement before The detection of GRB/GW (or other kinds of transient and GW) association can be used to directly and accurately measure the GW velocity! GRB170817A:off-axis sGRB? In the off-beam case, we have the following relations For typical bright sGRBs we have an isotropic equivalent gamma-ray radiation energy (Wang et al. 2017) Possible constraint on the subluminal movement the optical emission of macronova/kilonova is known to present within 1 day after the merger. The successful detection of macronova/kilonova emission at ～ 0.5 days suggest that the time delay of the arrival of the GW signal due to its subluminal movement can not be longer than ～ 0.5 days, then we have (Wang et al. 2017) Testing the Einstein equivalence principle The Shapiro delay is generally calculated as (Wang et al. 2017) The r-process element production To account for the measured total mass of galactic heavy r-process Elements , the binary neutron star merger rate averaged over the galaxy age should be The merger rate is actually not a constant and the inferred merger rate at present time (R0) may be lower than the averaged one by a factor of a few (i.e., Ro ?R?)
