1 The rate of short Gamma Ray Bursts and NS 2 mergers Tsvi Piran The Hebrew University! David Wanderman, Paz Biniamini, Omer Bromberg,! Simore Dall Osso, Oleg Korobkin, Martin Obergaulinger

2 Outline Long and short GRBs vs Collapsars and non-collapsars The rate of non- Collapsar short GRBs Implications

3 A Quick Summary About 1/3 of Swift short (<2sec) GRBs are Collapsars The rate of non-collapsar short GRBs (sgrbs) is Gpc -3 yr -1 (depending on the assumed minimal luminosity). A LIGO detection rate of per year (0.1-3 coinciding with a sgrb)* A typical time delay of ~ 3 Gyr after SFR An initial separation of ~ 2 x cm With beaming of ~ 30 and mass ejection of 0.02 M sun - compatible with R-process nucleosynthesis for A>110 elements.

60 ALIGO Detection Rate With this rate we expect 0.1-3* joint ALIGO/(300 Mpc) sgrb per year (provided that there is a GRB satellite at the time). With a beaming factor of ~ 30 -> ALIGO events per year. * x covering factor of the GRB detector.

61 r-process nucleosynthesis Eichler, Livio, TP & Schtamm, 89; TP, Korobkin & Rossowg, x 10 4 sgrbs pointing towards us within the Milky way. With a beaming factor of 30 -> sufficient to produce the observed heavy r-process

62 Early nucleosynthesis - a challenge A population of fast mergers? time-> From Cowan and Thielemann

63 One cannot give a talk in Astronomy these days without a reference to the Solar System and life. sgrbs are too weak and too rate to pose danger to life due to events in the Galaxy. TP & Jimmenez, 14

64 Mergers and the early Solar system

65 Mergers and the early Solar system The early Solar System had 244 Pu (τ= 117 Myr) Wasserburg et al, (2006). No evidence for 244 Pu deposition in deep-sea crust and sediment accumulated over the last ~25 Myr (M. Paul et al., 2001; A. Wallner et al., in preparation). => 244 Pu is NOT from the Inter Stellar Medium! => Actinides production near the early Solar System just prior to formation. Gerry Wasserburg Irregular production from rare episodes. => E.g. a merger within <50 pc=150 lyr from the solar system just prior to its formation?

66 Summary About 1/3 of Swift short (<2sec) GRBs are Collapsars The rate of non-collapsar short GRBs (sgrbs) is Gpc -3 yr -1 (depending on the assumed minimal luminosity). A LIGO detection rate of per year (0.1-3 coinciding with a sgrb* A typical time delay of ~ 3 Gyr after SFR Corresponding to an initial separation of ~ 2 x cm With beaming of ~ 30 and mass ejection of 0.02 M sun - compatible with R-process nucleosynthesis for A>110 elements.
