Prospects for kilonova signals in the gravitational-wave era
Robert Mochkovitch, Frédéric Daigne, Raphaël Duque +1
The binary neutron star merger gravitational-wave signal GW170817 was followed by three electromagnetic counterparts, including a kilonova arising from the radioactivity of freshly…
Probing binary neutron star mergers in dense environments using afterglow counterparts
Raphaël Duque, Paz Beniamini, Frédéric Daigne +1
The only binary neutron star merger gravitational wave event with detected electromagnetic counterparts recorded to date is GRB170817A. This merger occurred in a rarefied medium wi…
Neutron Star Merger Afterglows: Population Prospects for the Gravitational Wave Era
Raphaël Duque, Robert Mochkovitch, Frédéric Daigne
Following the historical observation of GW170817 and its electromagnetic follow-up, new neutron star merger afterglows are expected to be observed as counterparts to gravitational…
X-ray Plateaus in Gamma Ray Bursts' light-curves from jets viewed slightly off-axis
Paz Beniamini, Raphael Duque, Frederic Daigne +1
Using multiple observational arguments, recent work has shown that cosmological GRBs are typically viewed at angles within, or close to the cores of their relativistic jets. One of…
Radio afterglows of binary neutron star mergers: a population study for current and future gravitational wave observing runs
Raphaël Duque, Frédéric Daigne, Robert Mochkovitch
Following the historical observations of GW170817 and its multi-wavelength afterglow, more radio afterglows from neutron star mergers are expected in the future as counterparts to…
