Title

High-energy Neutrinos and Photons from Binary Neutron Star Mergers
Coauthors Murase, Kohta; Meszaros, Peter

Abstract

Last year, LIGO-VIRGO collaborations reported detection of the first neutron star merger event, GW170817, which accompanied with observations of electromagnetic counterparts from radio to gamma rays. High-energy gamma rays and neutrinos were not observed. However, the mergers of neutron stars are expected to produce these high-energy particles. Relativistic jets are expected to be launched when the neutron stars merge, which can be a source of high-energy neutrinos. Also, the central remnant object after the merger event, either a black hole or a neutron star, can produce high-energy photons. In this talk, I will discuss the prospects for coincident detection of these high-energy particles with gravitational waves.
