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.

SUMMARY:ECAP Seminar : Marek Kowalski
DESCRIPTION:A new era in multi-messenger astronomy\nWith the recent discoveries of gravitational waves and high-energy cosmic neutrinos\, we are witnessing the beginning of a new era in Multi-Messenger astronomy. The exploration of the Universe through these new messengers\, along with electromagnetic radiation and cosmic rays\, provides for new insights into the most extreme\, energetic cosmic events\, environments and particle accelerators. The objects of interest range from galaxies with accreting supermassive black holes in their center to coalescing stellar neutron stars. In my talk I will discuss some of our recent observations\, as well as selected future directions\, including the Zwicky Transient Facility\, a new wide-field imaging facility that will greatly improve our prospects for finding transient sources.
