What determines the structure of short gamma-ray burst jets?

Gerardo Urrutia, Fabio De Colle, Ariadna Murguia-Berthier +1

The discovery of GRB 170817A, the first unambiguous off-axis short gamma-ray burst arising from a neutron star merger, has challenged our understanding of the angular structure of…

The Fate of the Merger Remnant in GW170817 and its Imprint on the Jet Structure

Ariadna Murguia-Berthier, Enrico Ramirez-Ruiz, Fabio De Colle +3

The first neutron star binary merger detected in gravitational waves, GW170817 and the subsequent detection of its emission across the electromagnetic spectrum showed that these sy…

On the maximum stellar rotation to form a black hole without an accompanying luminous transient

Ariadna Murguia-Berthier, Aldo Batta, Agnieszka Janiuk +4

The collapse of a massive star with low angular momentum content is commonly argued to result in the formation of a black hole without an accompanying bright transient. Our goal in…

Multi-Messenger Astronomy with Extremely Large Telescopes

Ryan Chornock, Philip S. Cowperthwaite, Raffaella Margutti +82

The field of time-domain astrophysics has entered the era of Multi-messenger Astronomy (MMA). One key science goal for the next decade (and beyond) will be to characterize gravitat…

Gravity and Light: Combining Gravitational Wave and Electromagnetic Observations in the 2020s

R. J. Foley, K. D. Alexander, I. Andreoni +110

As of today, we have directly detected exactly one source in both gravitational waves (GWs) and electromagnetic (EM) radiation, the binary neutron star merger GW170817, its associa…

A luminosity distribution for kilonovae based on short gamma-ray burst afterglows

Stefano Ascenzi, Michael W. Coughlin, Tim Dietrich +8

The combined detection of a gravitational-wave signal, kilonova, and short gamma-ray burst (sGRB) from GW170817 marked a scientific breakthrough in the field of multi-messenger ast…
