Table 2

Short GRB rates in yr-1 (68% errors) within the volume corresponding to different distances.

NSNS 200 Mpc 300 Mpc 450 Mpc

NSBH 410 Mpc 615 Mpc 927 Mpc
Model (a)
Model (c)

Notes. R = limiting distance for binary inspiral detection by aLIGO, averaged over sky location and binary inclination, D = limiting distance for a face-on binary, averaged on sky location, H = limiting distance (horizon) for a face-on binary. Limiting distances are obtained considering the aLIGO design sensitivity to NSNS or NSBH inspirals (top and bottom portions of the table, respectively).
