Predicting Short-duration GRB Rates in the Advanced LIGO Volume

Starting with models for the compact object merger event rate, the short-duration gamma-ray burst (sGRB) luminosity function, and the Swift-BAT detector, we calculate the observed Swift sGRB rate and its uncertainty. Our probabilistic sGRB world model reproduces the observed number distributions in...
