Scientific paper

Compact object mergers are possible progenitors of short bursts. We analyze properties of compact object mergers using the StarTrack population synthesis code, and find that the double neutron star population is dominated by short lived systems, thus they merge within host galaxies, while black hole neutron star binaries merge outside of the host galaxies. We summarize the differences between these two types of mergers.
