131. Binary neutron star mergers

David Radice (The Pennsylvania State University)

Multimessenger perspective

talk

What is the nature of neutron stars? Where are r-process elements formed in the
Universe? Multimessenger observations of neutron star mergers might provide us
with the key to answer these and other important open questions in theoretical
astrophysics. In this talk, I will review our current theoretical understanding
of how neutron star mergers proceed and of how the dynamics is imprinted...

Multimessenger perspective

talk

In multi-messenger era, the scienti?c output of gravitational waves will be maximized when combined with its electromagnetic counterpart data. The effi?ciency of electromagnetic follow-up for given gravitational wave trigger largely depends on the localization error and the remain time to merger obtained from gravitational wave. Based on the ?fisher matrix method, we estimated the localization...

171. Impact of calibration uncertainties on cosmological measurements from gravitational wave sources

Multimessenger perspective

talk

Calibration is a key step in gravitational wave (GW) analysis converting the photodetector output in the ground-based interferometers to the strain data from which we extract GW signals. In this talk, we present an ongoing study on how calibration errors and uncertainties can affect astrophysical parameter estimation and cosmological measurements. We simulate different types of compact binary...
