21 Dec 2017 | Abstract: | The recent discovery of the electromagnetic counterpart of the gravitational
wave source GW170817, has demonstrated the huge informative power of
multi-messenger observations. During the next decade the nascent field of
multi-messenger astronomy will mature significantly. In 2030s, third generation
gravitational wave detectors will be roughly ten times more sensitive than the
current ones. At the same time, neutrino detectors currently upgrading to multi
km^3 telescopes, will include a 10 km^3 facility in the Southern hemisphere
that is expected to be operational during the thirties. In this review, we
describe the most promising high frequency gravitational wave and neutrino
sources that will be detected in the next two decades. In this context, we show
the important role of the Transient High Energy Sky and Early Universe Surveyor
(THESEUS), a mission concept proposed to ESA by a large international
collaboration in response to the call for the Cosmic Vision Programme M5
missions. THESEUS aims at providing a substantial advancement in early Universe
science as well as playing a fundamental role in multi-messenger and
time-domain astorphysics. It will operate in strong sinergy with future
gravitational wave and neutrino detectors as well as major ground- and
space-based telescopes. This review is an extension of the THESEUS white paper
(Amati et al., 2017), in light of the discovery of GW170817/GRB170817A that was
announced on October 16th, 2017. | Source: | arXiv, 1712.8153 | Services: | Forum | Review | PDF | Favorites |
