...Email: paz.beniamini@gmail.com genitors of sGRBs and the main source of r-process elements remained somewhat uncertain until the recent discovery of the kilonova AT2017gfo (Tanvir et al. 2017) and GRB170817 (Goldstein et al. 2017), accompanying the NS-NS merger event GW170817 (Abbott et al. 2017)....

...Here, we show that by combining this knowledge with the unique constraint from GW170817 we can probe these questions in greater detail, thus significantly improving our understanding of these issues....

...We impose a cut-off at the maximum distance for which NS mergers can be detected in GWs with current capabilities, dmax = 218 Mpc (Abbott et al. 2017)6; later on we test the dependence of the results on 5 This is compared to the available energy along the line of sight to the observer....

...While the joint discovery of GW170817 and GRB170817 has helped to constrain the fraction of successful GRB jets, their opening angles, and their luminosity function as discussed above, the angular structure of GRB jets and the nature of their γ-ray emission are still uncertain....

...In §2 we revisit the rate and luminosity function of sGRBs and show that the latest results from GW170817 strongly constrain: the fraction of sGRBs accompanying NS-NS mergers, the opening angles of sGRBs, and the interpretation of their luminosity function....
