Description
The electromagnetic counterpart of the binary neutron star merger GW170817 has been monitored from early to very late times at all wavelengths. In this talk, we discuss the temporal evolution of the associated afterglow emission in the X-rays and radio bands. These observations seem finally to support a flattening/decaying behaviour, favouring the "structured jet" interpretation for the origin of the electromagnetic emission.
