Title: | GW170817: Electromagnetic Wave Observations |
Date (JST): | Thu, Nov 16, 2017, 13:30 - 14:30 |
Place: | Lecture Hall |
Abstract: |
The first gravitational wave (GW) observationfrom a neutron star merger was successfully made for GW170817. The detection triggered electromagnetic (EM) wave observations over the entire wavelength range, which enabled the first identification of an EM counterpart of a GW source. I review EM observations of GW170817 and discuss implications from observations and open questions. |
