Title: | Studies on the high-energy follow-up of gravitational wave transient events | Authors: | Razzano, Massimiliano PATRICELLI, BARBARA Cella, Giancarlo Fidecaro, Francesco PIAN, Elena STAMERRA, Antonio Branchesi, Marica |
Issue Date: | 2016 | Journal: | JOURNAL OF PHYSICS. CONFERENCE SERIES | Volume: | XIV International Conference on Topics in Astroparticle and Underground Physics (TAUP 2015) | Number: | 718 | Issue: | 7 | First Page: | 072005 | Abstract: | Second-generation gravitational wave interferometers, such as Advanced LIGO and Advanced Virgo, will soon reach sensitivities sufficient to first detect gravitational waves and open a new era in the multi-messenger investigations of the cosmos. The most violent and energetic astrophysical phenomena, including the mergers of compact objects or the core collapse of massive stars, are promising sources of gravitational waves, and are thought to be connected with transient phenomena such as Gamma Ray Bursts and supernovae. Combined observations of gravitational and electromagnetic signals from these events will thus provide a unique opportunity to unveil their progenitors and study the physics of compact objects. In particular, gamma-ray ground-based and space observatories such as Fermi or the Air Cherenkov Telescopes will be crucial to observe the high-energy electromagnetic counterparts of transient gravitational wave signals and provide a robust identification based on a precise sky localization. We will report on our studies of possible joint observation strategies carried on by gravitational interferometers and gamma-ray telescopes, with particular attention to the high-energy follow-up of Gamma Ray Bursts. | Conference Name: | XIV International Conference on Topics in Astroparticle and Underground Physics (TAUP 2015) | Conference Place: | Torino, Italy | Conference Date: | 7 - 11 September, 2015 | URI: | http://hdl.handle.net/20.500.12386/26147 | URL: | https://iopscience.iop.org/article/10.1088/1742-6596/718/7/072005 | ISSN: | 1742-6588 | DOI: | 10.1088/1742-6596/718/7/072005 | Bibcode ADS: | 2016JPhCS.718g2005R | Fulltext: | open |
