EXPO: a quantum leap in fast, wide-band X-ray polarimetry for astrophysics
Paolo Soffitta, Sebastien Guillot, Ian Hutchinson +137
The Enhanced X-ray Polarimetry Observatory (EXPO) is a mission concept proposed to ESA as an M8 candidate, with a prospective launch in 2041. Building on the scientific success of…
The Ep-Liso correlation: A new diagnostic tool for kilonova transients
Ruben Farinelli, Fabrizio Cogato, Mattia Bulla +10
The AT2017gfo kilonova transient remains a unique multi-messenger event thanks to its proximity (z=0.00987) and the possibility to investigate time-resolved spectra, providing evid…
Continuous Wide-Field Optical Monitoring for Very Early-Phase Transient Discovery
Massimo Della Valle, Maria Teresa Botticella, Enrico Cappellaro +40
The study of transient phenomena in a multimessenger context is expected to remain a major pillar of astrophysical discovery in the decades ahead. Supernovae, Kilonovae, Black-Hole…
An analytical late-Universe approach to the weaving of modern cosmology
Fabrizio Cogato, Michele Moresco, Lorenzo Amati +1
Combining cosmological probes has consolidated the standard cosmological model with percent precision, but some tensions have recently emerged when certain parameters are estimated…
The X/Gamma-ray Imaging Spectrometer (XGIS) on-board THESEUS: design, main characteristics, and concept of operation
Claudio Labanti, Lorenzo Amati, Filippo Frontera +58
THESEUS is one of the three missions selected by ESA as fifth medium class mission (M5) candidates in its Cosmic Vision science program, currently under assessment in a phase A stu…
Tracing dark energy history with gamma ray bursts
M. Muccino, L. Izzo, O. Luongo +5
Observations of gamma-ray bursts up to are best suited to study the possible evolution of the Universe equation of state at intermediate redshifts. We apply the Combo-rel…
Synergy between THESEUS and E-ELT
E. Maiorano, L. Amati, A. Rossi +3
The Transient High Energy Sky and Early Universe Surveyor (THESEUS) is a space mission concept aimed at exploiting Gamma-Ray Bursts for investigating the early Universe and at prov…
The X-Gamma Imaging Spectrometer (XGIS) onboard THESEUS
R. Campana, F. Fuschino, C. Labanti +20
A compact and modular X and gamma-ray imaging spectrometer (XGIS) has been designed as one of the instruments foreseen on-board the THESEUS mission proposed in response to the ESA…
The THESEUS Workshop 2017
L. Amati, E. Bozzo, D. Götz +2
The Transient High-Energy Sky and Early Universe Surveyor (THESEUS) is a mission concept developed in the last years by a large European consortium, with interest in prospective pa…
Spectroscopic identification of r-process nucleosynthesis in a double neutron star merger
E. Pian, P. D'Avanzo, S. Benetti +81
The merger of two neutron stars is predicted to give rise to three major detectable phenomena: a short burst of gamma-rays, a gravitational wave signal, and a transient optical/nea…
A compact and modular X and gamma-ray detector with a CsI scintillator and double-readout Silicon Drift Detectors
R. Campana, F. Fuschino, C. Labanti +20
A future compact and modular X and gamma-ray spectrometer (XGS) has been designed and a series of prototypes have been developed and tested. The experiment envisages the use of CsI…
Probing the emission physics and weak/soft population of Gamma-Ray Bursts with LOFT
L. Amati, G. Stratta, J. -L. Atteia +36
This is a White Paper in support of the mission concept of the Large Observatory for X-ray Timing (LOFT), proposed as a medium-sized ESA mission. We discuss the potential of LOFT f…
