✦ Synopsis


We review our current perspective on the formation of the double pulsar J0737-3039. Pulsar J0737-3039B, the second-born pulsar, was formed from a low-mass helium star with pre-supernova mass in the range of 1.5-2.2 M . The formation was accompanied by a low kick velocity. It is also suggested that pulsar B was born via electron-capture supernova.

We present the current estimates of the Galactic merger rate of double-neutron-star (DNS) systems. Using a statistical analysis method, we calculate the probability distribution function (PDF) of the rate estimates, which allows us to assign confidence intervals to the rate estimates. We calculate t
