Notes. We report in parenthesis the detection rates assuming ΔΩ90% < 100 deg2 and ΔΩ90% < 10 deg2. The GW detection limits refer to the S/Nnet threshold. Near infrared and optical limiting magnitudes are in the AB system; radio limiting flux densities are in mJy @ 1.4 GHz; X-ray limiting flux densities are in erg cm−2 s−1 keV−1 @ 1 keV; gamma-ray limiting fluence is in erg cm−2 (Fermi/GBM). Detection rates are in yr−1. The reported errors, given at the 90% credible level, stem from the uncertainty on the overall merger rate, while systematic errors are not included.

Current usage metrics show cumulative count of Article Views (full-text article views including HTML views, PDF and ePub downloads, according to the available data) and Abstracts Views on Vision4Press platform.

Data correspond to usage on the plateform after 2015. The current usage metrics is available 48-96 hours after online publication and is updated daily on week days.

Initial download of the metrics may take a while.
