JWST detection of heavy neutron capture elements in a compact object merger
A. Levan, B. P. Gompertz, O. S. Salafia +80
The mergers of binary compact objects such as neutron stars and black holes are of central interest to several areas of astrophysics, including as the progenitors of gamma-ray burs…
Multi-Messenger Astrophysics Opportunities with Stellar-Mass Binary Black Hole Mergers
K. E. Saavik Ford, Federico Fraschetti, Chris Fryer +5
The conventional view of stellar-mass binary black hole (sBBH) mergers is that there should not be enough matter present to produce a detectable electromagnetic transient. However,…
Energetic Particles of Cosmic Accelerators II: Active Galactic Nuclei and Gamma-ray Bursts
Tonia M. Venters, Sylvain Guiriec, Amy Y. Lien +26
The high-energy universe has revealed that energetic particles are ubiquitous in the cosmos and play a vital role in the cultivation of cosmic environments on all scales. Though th…
Opportunities for Multimessenger Astronomy in the 2020s
E. Burns, A. Tohuvavohu, J. M. Bellovary +22
Electromagnetic observations of the sky have been the basis for our study of the Universe for millennia, cosmic ray studies are now entering their second century, the first neutrin…
What Are Gamma-Ray Bursts -- The Unique Role of Very High Energy Gamma-Ray Observations
D. A. Williams, A. D. Falcone, M. G. Baring +20
Gamma-ray bursts (GRBs) have been an enigma since their discovery forty years ago. However, considerable progress unraveling their mysteries has been made in recent years. Developm…
