Description
Multi-messenger observations of compact binary coalescences will enrich our understanding of the astrophysics behind such sources, especially binary neutron star mergers. The joint analysis of gravitational wave data in conjunction with electromagnetic observations is a crucial ingredient for multi-messenger astrophysics. This talk will present an overview of multi-messenger astrophysics research at the University of Glasgow, including the analysis of kilonova light curves for joint observations and a hierarchical Bayesian analysis for
combining gravitational wave and gamma-ray observations to identify plausible models for gamma-ray burst jet structures.
