Identifying Kilonovae in the Presence of Optical Afterglow for the Wide Field Survey Telescope
Huan Yang, Zhengyan Liu, Liang-Duan Liu +2
Identifying kilonovae associated with binary neutron star mergers is often complicated by the presence of a dominant synchrotron afterglow. In this work, we evaluate the performanc…
Prospects for Time-Domain and Multi-Messenger Science with eXTP
Shu-Xu Yi, Wen Zhao, Ren-Xin Xu +75
In this new era of time-domain and multi-messenger astronomy, various new transients and new phenomena are constantly being discovered thanks to the rapid advances in observations,…
Fundamental Physics and Cosmology with TianQin
Jun Luo, Haipeng An, Ligong Bian +33
The exploration of the surrounding world and the universe is an important theme in the legacy of humankind. The detection of gravitational waves is adding a new dimension to this g…
Fundamental Physics Opportunities with the Next-Generation Event Horizon Telescope
Dimitry Ayzenberg, Lindy Blackburn, Richard Brito +45
The Event Horizon Telescope (EHT) Collaboration recently published the first images of the supermassive black holes in the cores of the Messier 87 and Milky Way galaxies. These obs…
Vacuum Spacetime With Multipole Moments: The Minimal Size Conjecture, Black Hole Shadow, and Gravitational Wave Observables
Shammi Tahura, Hassan Khalvati, Huan Yang
In this work, we explicitly construct the vacuum solution of Einstein's equations with prescribed multipole moments. By observing the behavior of the multipole spacetime metric at…
