The first detection of gravitational waves from a merging double neutron star (DNS) binary implies a much higher rate of DNS coalescences in the local Universe than typically estimated on theoretical grounds. The recent study by Chruslinska et al. (2018) shows that apart from being particularly sensitive to the common envelope treatment, DNS merger rates appear rather robust against variations of several factors probed in their study (e.g. conservativeness of the mass transfer, angular momentum loss, and natal kicks), unless extreme assumptions are made. Confrontation with the improving observational limits may allow to rule out some of the extreme models. To correctly compare model predictions with observational limits one has to account for the other factors that affect the rates. One of those factors relates to the assumed history of star formation and chemical evolution of the Universe and its impact on the final results needs to be better constrained.
