Viewing Angle of Binary Neutron Star Mergers

The joint detection of the gravitational wave (GW) GW170817 and its electromagnetic (EM) counterparts GRB170817A and kilonova AT 2017gfo has triggered extensive study of the EM emission of binary neutron star mergers. A parameter which is common to and plays a key role in both the GW and the EM anal...
