We compute the local rate of events similar to GRB 170817A, which has been recently found to be associated with a kilonova (KN) outburst. Our analysis finds an observed rate of such events of R\(_{KN}\sim 352^{+810}_{-281}\) Gpc\(^{-3}\)yr\(^{-1}\). After comparing at their face values this density of sGRB outbursts with the much higher density of...
