Interpreting GRB170817A as a giant flare from a jet-less double neutron-star merger

Om S. Salafia, Gabriele Ghisellini, Giancarlo Ghirlanda +1

We show that the delay between GRB170817A and GW170817 is incompatible with de-beamed emission from an off-axis relativistic jet. The prompt emission and the subsequent radio and X…

Probing the formation history of the nuclear star cluster at the Galactic Centre with millisecond pulsars

F. Abbate, A. Mastrobuono-Battisti, M. Colpi +3

The origin of the Nuclear Star Cluster in the centre of our Galaxy is still unknown. One possibility is that it formed after the disruption of stellar clusters that spiralled into…

Where and when: optimal scheduling of the electromagnetic follow-up of gravitational-wave events based on counterpart lightcurve models

Om S. Salafia, Monica Colpi, Marica Branchesi +4

The electromagnetic (EM) follow-up of a gravitational wave (GW) event requires to scan a wide sky region, defined by the so called "skymap", for the detection and identification of…

The fine line between total and partial tidal disruption events

Deborah Mainetti, Alessandro Lupi, Sergio Campana +4

Flares from tidal disruption events are unique tracers of quiescent black holes at the centre of galaxies. The appearance of these flares is very sensitive to whether the star is t…

Laser Interferometer Space Antenna

Pau Amaro-Seoane, Heather Audley, Stanislav Babak +81

Following the selection of The Gravitational Universe by ESA, and the successful flight of LISA Pathfinder, the LISA Consortium now proposes a 4 year mission in response to ESA's c…
