Binary neutron star (NS) mergers are among the most promising sources of gravitational waves (GWs), as well as candidate progenitors for short Gamma-Ray Bursts (SGRBs). Depending on the total initial mass of the system, and the NS equation…

Dyson (2013) argued that the extraordinarily large number of gravitons in a gravitational wave makes them impossible to be resolved as individual particles. While true, it is shown in this paper that a LIGO interferometric detector also…
