Electromagnetic detectors and future prospects for multimessenger science and contributed talks
- Giancarlo Cella (Istituto Nazionale di Fisica Nucleare)
The discovery of gravitational waves (GWs) from the coalescence of compact objects is one of the most exciting scientific discoveries of the last decade, and started a “golden age” for the multi-messenger astronomy. Merging of either black hole-neutron star or two neutron stars are among the most promising GW sources able to generate electromagnetic counterparts, but also core-collapsing...
The recent detection Gamma Ray Burts (GRB) by Imaging Atmospheric Cherenkov Telescopes opened up the possibility of Multi Messenger (MM) detection of neutron star merger events and the assiciated GRBs with Gravitational Waves (GW) and Very High Energy (VHE) gamma rays.
New facilities with enhanced sensitivities which are under construction or will start construction in the near future...
