The Multimessenger discovery of the merger of two neutron stars on August 17, 2017, GW170817 / GRB170817A, accompanied by a gamma-ray burst and an optical kilonova, is a triumph of the ideas about the evolution of the baryon component in the Universe. Despite the current uniqueness of this observation, the obtained variety of experimental data makes it possible right now to draw important theoretical conclusions about the origin of the double neutron star, their merger, and the subsequent flare-up of the electromagnetic radiation. We present that the discovery of the merger at a distance of 40 Mpc is in full agreement with the very first calculations of the Scenario Machine (Lipunov et al. 1987). In modern terms, the predicted rate is ~ 10 000 Gpc-3.

  1. Inferring neutron star merger ejecta morphologies with kilonovae

    astro-ph.HE 2025-05 conditional novelty 6.0 of 10

    Kilonova ejecta morphology is distinguishable only when late-time JWST mid-infrared data are added to Rubin optical data, and AT2017gfo is best matched by the SuperNu TP2 (toroidal plus peanut wind) model.
