Non-Parametric Reconstruction of the Hubble Parameter from the Fourth Gravitational Wave Transient Catalog and DESI Baryonic Acoustic Oscillations

Grégoire Pierra, Alberto Colombo, Simone Mastrogiovanni

The release of the fourth Gravitational Wave Transient Catalog (GWTC-4.0) by the LIGO-Virgo-KAGRA collaboration includes more than 200 compact binary coalescence (CBC) candidates t…

Kilonova parameters estimation with LSST at Vera C. Rubin Observatory

Fabio Ragosta, Tomas Ahumada, Silvia Piranomonte +4

The up-coming Vera Rubin Observatory's Legacy Survey of Space and Time (LSST) opens a new opportunity to rapidly survey the southern Sky at optical wavelenghts (\ie ugrizy bands).…

Filling the Mass Gap: How Kilonova Observations can Unveil the Nature of the Compact Object Merging with the Neutron Star

Claudio Barbieri, Om Sharan Salafia, Monica Colpi +3

In this letter we focus on the peculiar case of a coalescing compact-object binary whose chirp mass is compatible both with a neutron star-neutron star and black hole-neutron star…

Multi-messenger prospects for black hole - neutron star mergers in the O4 and O5 runs

Alberto Colombo, Raphaël Duqué, Om Sharan Salafia +13

The existence of merging black hole-neutron star (BHNS) binaries has been ascertained through the observation of their gravitational wave (GW) signals. However, to date, no definit…

The Science of the Einstein Telescope

Adrian Abac, Raul Abramo, Simone Albanesi +485

Einstein Telescope (ET) is the European project for a gravitational-wave (GW) observatory of third-generation. In this paper we present a comprehensive discussion of its science ob…

Gamma-ray Bursts and Kilonovae from Gravitational Wave Events

Alberto Colombo, Marcello Giroletti, Susanna D. Vergani +1

The detection of gravitational waves (GWs) from binary black holes in 2015 and the joint GW-electromagnetic (EM) observation of the binary neutron star merger GW170817 set a milest…

Multi-messenger observations in the Einstein Telescope era: binary neutron star and black hole - neutron star mergers

Alberto Colombo, Om Sharan Salafia, Giancarlo Ghirlanda +6

The Einstein Telescope (ET), a proposed next-generation gravitational wave (GW) observatory, will expand the reach of GW astronomy of stellar-mass compact object binaries to unprec…

Cosmology from Synergies Between SKAO Surveys and Gravitational Wave Observations

Tessa Baker, Alberto Colombo, Steven Cunnington +11

Both radio surveys and gravitational wave observations have the potential to probe unprecedented volumes in the Universe with systematics independent of existing cosmological probe…
