Revisiting the Parameter Space of Binary Neutron Star Merger Event GW170817

Since the gravitational wave event GW170817 and gamma-ray burst GW170817A, there have been numerous studies constraining the burst properties through analysis of the afterglow light curves. Most agree that the burst was viewed off-axis with a ratio of the observer angle to the jet angle ( θ _obs / θ...
