The Jet Opening Angle and Event Rate Distributions of Short Gamma-Ray Bursts from Late-time X-Ray Afterglows

The Jet Opening Angle and Event Rate Distributions of Short Gamma-Ray Bursts from Late-time X-Ray Afterglows

We present a comprehensive study of 29 short gamma-ray bursts (SGRBs) observed ≈0.8−60 days postburst using Chandra and XMM-Newton. We provide the inferred distributions of the SGRB jet opening angles and true event rates to compare against neutron star merger rates. We perform a uniform analysis an...
