# The mass distribution of Galactic double neutron stars
-We highly recommend reading [*The Mass Distribution of Galactic Double Neutron Stars*; (Farrow, Zhu, & Thrane 2019)](hhttps://iopscience.iop.org/article/10.3847/1538-4357/ab12e3/) for details along with this demonstraion.
+We highly recommend reading [*The Mass Distribution of Galactic Double Neutron Stars*; (Farrow, Zhu, & Thrane 2019)](https://iopscience.iop.org/article/10.3847/1538-4357/ab12e3/) for details along with this demonstraion.
Here we provide code which performs Bayesian inference on a sample of 17 Galactic double neutron stars (DNS) in order to investigate their mass distribution. Each DNS is comprised of two neutron stars (NS), a recycled NS and a non-recycled (slow) NS. We compare two hypotheses: A - recycled NS and non-recycled NS follow an identical mass distribution, and B - they are drawn from two distinct populations. Within each hypothesis we also explore three possible functional models: gaussian, two-gaussian (mixture model), and uniform mass distributions.
