Scientific paper

We consider the spatial offsets of short hard bursts (SHBs) from their host galaxies. All SHBs with an extended soft emission component lie very close to their hosts. We suggest that NS-BH binary mergers offer a natural explanation for the properties of this extended duration/low offset group. SHBs with large offsets have no observed extended emission components and are less likely to have an optically detected afterglow, properties consistent with NS-NS binary mergers occurring in low density environments.
