Abstract

Using 72 Short Gamma Ray Bursts (SGRBs) with well determined spectral data observed by BATSE, we determine their redshift and the luminosity by applying EpE_p--LpL_p correlation for SGRBs found by \cite{tsutsui13}. For 53 SGRBs with the observed flux brighter than 4×106 erg cm2s14 \times 10^{-6}~{\rm erg~cm^{-2}s^{-1}}, the cumulative redshift distribution up to z=1z=1 agrees well with that of 22 {\it Swift}~SGRBs. This suggests that the redshift determination by the EpE_p--LpL_p correlation for SGRBs works well. The minimum event rate at z=0z=0 is estimated as ρSGRB(0)=6.33.9+3.1×1010 events Mpc3yr1\rho_{SGRB}(0) = 6.3_{-3.9}^{+3.1} \times 10^{-10}~{\rm events~Mpc^{-3}yr^{-1}} so that the minimum beaming angle is 0.67.80.6^\circ-7.8^\circ assuming the merging rate of 1074×106 events Mpc3yr110^{-7}-4\times 10^{-6}~{\rm events~Mpc^{-3}yr^{-1}} suggested from the binary pulsar data. Interestingly, this angle is consistent with that for SGRB130603B of 48\sim 4^\circ-8^\circ\citep{fong13b}. On the other hand, if we assume the beaming angle of 6\sim 6^\circ suggested from four SGRBs with the observed value of beaming angle, the minimum event rate including off-axis SGRBs is estimated as ρSGRB,allmin(0)=1.150.71+0.57×107 events Mpc3yr1\rho_{SGRB,all}^{min}(0)=1.15_{-0.71}^{+0.57}\times 10^{-7}~{\rm events~Mpc^{-3}yr^{-1}}. If SGRBs are induced by coalescence of binary neutron stars (NSs) and/or black holes (BHs), this event rate leads to the minimum gravitational-wave detection rate of 3.92.4+1.9(15294+75) events y1\rm 3.9_{-2.4}^{+1.9} (152_{-94}^{+75})~events~y^{-1} for NS-NS (NS-BH) binary, respectively, by a worldwide network with KAGRA, advanced-LIGO, advanced-Virgo, and GEO.
