# How Pulses in Short Gamma-Ray Bursts Constrain HMXRB Evolution

## TL;DR

This paper explores how pulse structures in short gamma-ray bursts, combined with gravitational wave observations, can provide insights into the evolution and geometry of high-mass X-ray binary systems involving neutron star mergers.

## Contribution

It introduces a novel method to constrain HMXRB system geometries using SGRB pulse data and GW observations, advancing understanding of neutron star binary evolution.

## Key findings

- Pulse structures in SGRBs can reveal HMXRB geometries.
- GW 170817A data supports the proposed constraints.
- New insights into neutron star merger evolution.

## Abstract

We demonstrate how pulse structures in Short gamma-ray bursts (SGRBs), coupled with observations of GRB/GW 170817A, constrain the geometries of dying HMXRB systems composed of merging neutron stars.
