Details

Scientific paper

The rate of collisions between the neutron stars is ~ 10-4 yr-1 in our Galaxy, and ~ 105 yr-1 within the Hubble distance. The collisions are the final phases of binary orbit decay driven by gravitational radiation. If strange stars exist then their collisions must release ~ 1050 erg in gamma-rays over ~ 0.2 s. Such events should be detectable out to ~ 1 Gpc with the current instruments.
