Abstract

We discuss in this contribution some issues of the NS-NS merging events, emphasizing that the data and independent evidence gathered from NS mass distribution suggest an asymmetric system as the progenitor of GW170817. The issue of the maximum static NS mass (likely found in redback-black widow systems) is in tension with the value related to this particular event.
