A peculiar low-luminosity short gamma-ray burst from a double neutron star merger progenitor

Li, Y.; Shao, L.; Zhang, S. +15 more

Double neutron star (DNS) merger events are promising candidates of short gamma-ray burst (sGRB) progenitors as well as high-frequency gravitational wave (GW) emitters. On August 17, 2017, such a coinciding event was detected by both the LIGO-Virgo gravitational wave detector network as GW170817 and Gamma-Ray Monitor on board NASA's Fermi Space Te…
