Can we constrain the binary neutron star merger time from kilonova light curves?
Noah Jamsin, Marion Pillas, Marko Ristić +18
The joint observation of gravitational waves (GWs) from a binary neutron star (BNS) merger (GW170817), together with a short Gamma-Ray Burst (GRB 170817A) and a kilonova (KN, AT201…
Memory effect from neutron star merger counterparts
T. Brabant, M. Pillas, H. Inchauspé +3
The gravitational-wave (GW) memory effect is a prediction of general relativity, characterized by a permanent change in spacetime geometry. Although it has not yet been observed, n…

GRB 241030A: a bright afterglow challenging forward shock emission
J. -G. Ducoin, C. Pellouin, V. Aivazyan +97
Gamma-Ray Burst GRB 241030A (z = 1.411) exhibited a bright afterglow (similar to GRB 221009A), detected across gamma-ray, X-ray, UV, and optical bands, providing a probe of GRB aft…
Multi-epoch afterglow rebrightenings in GRB 250129A: Evidence for successive shock interactions
D. Akl, S. Antier, H. Koehn +105
Most long gamma-ray bursts (GRBs) exhibit afterglows broadly consistent with external forward-shock emission, typically described by smooth broken power-law decays in the multiband…
Minutes-long soft X-ray prompt emission from a compact object merger
An Li, Chen-Wei Wang, Niccolò Passaleva +75
Compact object mergers are multi-messenger sources and known progenitors of some gamma-ray bursts, bright flashes of high-energy radiation powered by a central engine, either an ac…
ZTF25abjmnps (AT2025ulz) and S250818k: A Candidate Superkilonova from a Sub-threshold Sub-Solar Gravitational Wave Trigger
Mansi M. Kasliwal, Tomas Ahumada, Robert Stein +61
On August 18, 2025, the LIGO-Virgo-KAGRA collaboration reported gravitational waves from a sub-threshold binary neutron star merger. If astrophysical, this event would have a surpr…

We describe the effort to characterize gravitational-wave searches and detector sensitivity to different types of compact binary coalescences during the LIGO-Virgo-KAGRA Collaborat…
Kilonova modelling and parameter inference: Understanding uncertainties and evaluating compatibility between observations and models
Thomas Hussenot-Desenonges, Marion Pillas, Sarah Antier +2
In the study of optical transients, parameter inference is the process of extracting physical information, i.e. constraints on the source's characteristics, by comparing the observ…
