GUEST: Gravitational Universe Exploration with Satellite Tracking. A passive satellite laser-ranging mission for the dark gravitational Universe
Diego Blas, Aurélien Hees, F. Javier Atapuerca +78
GUEST is a space mission concept whose central objective is the detection of gravitational waves (GWs) in the microhertz band -- a physics-rich frequency window that no other prese…
A persistent bow shock in a diskless magnetised accreting white dwarf
Krystian Ilkiewicz, Simone Scaringi, Domitilla de Martino +9
Stellar bow shocks are formed when an outflow interacts with the interstellar medium. In white dwarfs accreting from a binary companion, outflows are associated with either strong…
Multi-messenger and time-domain astronomy in the 2040s
Samaya Nissanke, Nikhil Sarin, Chris Copperwheat +31
Multi-messenger astronomy will be transformed in the 2040s by an unprecedented volume of detections from next-generation gravitational wave, high-energy, and ultra-high energy neut…
How Mass Flows Through Accretion Discs: A Spectral-Timing Vision for the 2040s
Simone Scaringi, Domitilla de Martino, Anna F. Pala +17
Understanding how mass and angular momentum flow through accretion discs remains a fundamental unsolved problem in astrophysics. Accreting white dwarfs offer an ideal laboratory fo…
Dense Matter in Neutron Stars with eXTP
Ang Li, Anna L. Watts, Guobao Zhang +82
In this White Paper, we present the potential of the enhanced X-ray Timing and Polarimetry (eXTP) mission to constrain the equation of state of dense matter in neutron stars, explo…
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…
