Gravity seminar: Nina Kunert, University of Potsdam — NMMA: A nuclear-physics and multi-messenger astrophysics framework to analyze binary neutron star mergers
October 25, 2024 @ 2:30 pm - 3:30 pm
The multi-messenger detection of the gravitational-wave signal GW170817, the corresponding kilonova AT2017gfo and the short gamma-ray burst GRB170817A, as well as the observed afterglow has delivered a scientific breakthrough. For an accurate interpretation of the emitted gravitational-wave and electromagnetic emission, one requires robust theoretical models and efficient computational tools to enable Bayesian inference of observational or synthetic data. For this purpose, we have developed the Nuclear-physics and Multi-Messenger Astrophysics framework, NMMA. We demonstrate that NMMA allows us to simultaneously analyze multi-messenger observational data, constrain the equation of state of supranuclear dense matter, classify electromagnetic observations, perform model selection and to measure the Hubble constant.
