The mass distribution of Galactic double neutron stars: constraints on the gravitational-wave sources like GW170817
ABSTRACT The merger event of double neutron star (DNS) system (GW170817) was detected by the gravitational-wave (GW) detectors (Advanced LIGO and Advanced Virgo) in 2017 for the first time, so their mass distribution has become a significant topic with the new round GW hunting (O3) in 2019.

| Zusammenfassung: | ABSTRACT
The merger event of double neutron star (DNS) system (GW170817) was detected by the gravitational-wave (GW) detectors (Advanced LIGO and Advanced Virgo) in 2017 for the first time, so their mass distribution has become a significant topic with the new round GW hunting (O3) in 2019. A few models (e.g. Gaussian, two-Gaussian, or mixture-Gaussian) were adopted to draw the mass distribution of observed Galactic DNS systems, however, there is no a confirmed model now due to the small size of DNS samples (N |
