    Gravitational waves transient signals can be classified broadly as compact binary coalescence (CBC) and generic short and long duration transients (bursts), the search techniques/algorithms for them differs on various levels and hence the background and sensitivity for both these searches are quite different, however even when they target different sources, they are not completely mutually...

    The Transient High Energy Sky and Early Universe Surveyor (THESEUS) is a mission concept under development by a large international collaboration aimed at exploiting Gamma-Ray Bursts for investigating the early Universe and monitoring the X-ray sky with an unprecedented combination of deep sensitivity and large field of view. These goals will be achieved through a unique combination of...

    Talk
    With the recent detection of two transient gravitational wave (GW) signals by the Advanced LIGO interferometers the era of GW astronomy has begun. The two events, labeled GW150914 and GW151226, are both consistent with the inspiral and the merger of a binary system of black holes (BBH). In the next years the 2nd generation interferometers will increase their sensitivity: many other GW events...

    The Large Area Telescope (LAT) on the Fermi satellite is expected to publish a catalogue with more than 100 Gamma-Ray Bursts (GRBs) detected above 100 MeV thanks to a new detection algorithm and a new event reconstruction. This work aims at revising the prospects for GRB alerts with the Cherenkov Telescope Array (CTA) based on the new LAT results. We start considering the simulation of the...
