Afterglow constraints on the viewing angle of binary neutron star mergers and determination of the Hubble constant

E Nakar, T Piran - The Astrophysical Journal, 2021 - iopscience.iop.org
One of the key properties of any binary is its viewing angle (ie, inclination), θ obs. In binary
neutron star (BNS) mergers it is of special importance due to the role that it plays in the …
