SUMMARY:ECAP Seminar: Jochen Greiner
DESCRIPTION:The gravitational wave detection of a binary neutron star merger: expectations\, surprises\, and prospects\nOn August 17\, 2017\, Advanced LIGO & Virgo detected gravitational waves from a binary neutron star merger. A short-duration gamma-ray burst was detected in temporal coincidence by the INTEGRAL and Fermi satellites. A few hours later\, an optical/NIR transient was found which turned out to be compatible with the predictions of a kilonova\, powered by the radioactive decay of heavy r-process nuclei produced in the merger. I will give an overview of the observational results of this event which will go down in history as the start of multi-messenger gravitational wave astronomy. I will contrast the original expectations with the actual findings\, and will spend most of the time on the mismatches\, i.e. the new questions which emerged.
