Short Gamma Ray Bursts as possible electromagnetic counterpart of
  coalescing binary systems
  Coalescing binary systems, consisting of two collapsed objects, are among the
most promising sources of high frequency gravitational waves signals
detectable, in principle, by ground-based interferometers. Binary systems of
Neutron Star or Black Hole/Neutron Star mergers should also give rise to short
Gamma Ray Bursts, a subclass of Gamma Ray Bursts. Short-hard-Gamma Ray Bursts
might thus provide a powerful way to infer the merger rate of two-collapsed
object binaries. Under the hypothesis that most short Gamma Ray Bursts
originate from binaries of Neutron Star or Black Hole/Neutron Star mergers, we
outline here the possibility to associate short Gamma Ray Bursts as
electromagnetic counterpart of coalescing binary systems.
