Gravitational Wave and Multi-messenger Astronomy: current results and future perspectivesNews: The opening of gravitational-wave (GW) and multi-messenger (MM) astronomy demonstrates a transformative potential for astrophysics and fundamental physics. An enormous amount of information has been gathered by the GW detections made by the Advanced LIGO and Virgo interferometers. The next generation of GW detector Einstein Telescope, thanks to its improved design, will explore the Universe through GW along its cosmic history up to the cosmological dark ages. Aims and scope
Gravitational-wave observations have enabled us to unveil the physics of binary systems of stellar-black holes and neutron stars, to test general relativity, to probe their association with gamma-ray bursts and kilonovae impacting relativistic astrophysics, nuclear physics, and nucleosynthesis in the Universe. While many more GW events are anticipated in the next few years, the discovery and multi-wavelength follow up of their counterparts is a challenging endeavor for current facilities and strategies.
Programme
Talks about instruments, observations, and theory will be organized within a special session with three slots of 1.5 hours. We will give an overview of the past GW detections and their impact in astrophysics and fundamental physics, and we will explore perspectives and challenges for the next runs of observations of current detectors, and for the next generation of GW observatories. We envisage to have review talks on instrumentation, observations, theory followed by contributed presentations on the on-going research projects.
