Item A Search for Kilonova Radio Flares in a Sample of Swift/BAT Short Gamma-Ray Bursts(2023) Eddins, Avery (TTU); Lee, Kyung Hwan; Corsi, Alessandra (TTU); Bartos, Imre; Márka, Zsuzsanna; Márka, SzabolcsThe multimessenger detection of GW170817 showed that binary neutron star (BNS) mergers are progenitors of (at least some) short gamma-ray bursts (GRBs), and that short GRB jets (and their afterglows) can have structures (and observational properties) more complex than predicted by the standard top-hat jet scenario. Indeed, the emission from the structured jet launched in GW170817 peaked in the radio band (centimeter wavelengths) at ≈100 days since merger—a timescale much longer than the typical time span of radio follow-up observations of short GRBs. Moreover, radio searches for a potential late-time radio flare from the fast tail of the neutron-rich debris that powered the kilonova associated with GW170817 (AT 2017gfo) have extended to even longer timescales (years after the merger). In light of this, here we present the results of an observational campaign targeting a sample of seven, years-old GRBs in the Swift/BAT sample with no redshift measurements and no promptly identified X-ray counterpart. Our goal is to assess whether this sample of short GRBs could harbor nearby BNS mergers, searching for the late-time radio emission expected from their ejecta. We found one radio candidate counterpart for one of the GRBs in our sample, GRB 111126A, though an origin related to emission from star formation or from an active galactic nucleus in its host galaxy cannot be excluded without further observations.Item Astrophysics with the Laser Interferometer Space Antenna(2023) Amaro-Seoane, Pau; Andrews, Jeff; Arca Sedda, Manuel; Askar, Abbas; Baghi, Quentin; Balasov, Razvan; Bartos, Imre; Bavera, Simone S.; Bellovary, Jillian; Berry, Christopher P.L.; Berti, Emanuele; Bianchi, Stefano; Blecha, Laura; Blondin, Stéphane; Bogdanović, Tamara; Boissier, Samuel; Bonetti, Matteo; Bonoli, Silvia; Bortolas, Elisa; Breivik, Katelyn; Capelo, Pedro R.; Caramete, Laurentiu; Cattorini, Federico; Charisi, Maria; Chaty, Sylvain; Chen, Xian; Chruślińska, Martyna; Chua, Alvin J.K.; Church, Ross; Colpi, Monica; D’Orazio, Daniel; Danielski, Camilla; Davies, Melvyn B.; Dayal, Pratika; De Rosa, Alessandra; Derdzinski, Andrea; Destounis, Kyriakos; Dotti, Massimo; Duţan, Ioana; Dvorkin, Irina; Fabj, Gaia; Foglizzo, Thierry; Ford, Saavik; Fouvry, Jean Baptiste; Franchini, Alessia; Fragos, Tassos; Fryer, Chris; Gaspari, Massimo; Gerosa, Davide; Graziani, Luca; Groot, Paul; Habouzit, Melanie; Haggard, Daryl; Haiman, Zoltan; Han, Wen Biao; Istrate, Alina; Johansson, Peter H.; Khan, Fazeel Mahmood; Kimpson, Tomas; Kokkotas, Kostas; Kong, Albert; Korol, Valeriya; Kremer, Kyle; Kupfer, Thomas (TTU); Lamberts, Astrid; Larson, Shane; Lau, Mike; Liu, Dongliang; Lloyd-Ronning, Nicole; Lodato, Giuseppe; Lupi, Alessandro; Ma, Chung Pei; Maccarone, Tomas (TTU); Mandel, Ilya; Mangiagli, Alberto; Mapelli, Michela; Mathis, Stéphane; Mayer, Lucio; McGee, Sean; McKernan, Berry; Miller, M.

The synergy with ground-based and space-born instruments in the electromagnetic domain, by enabling multi-messenger observations, will add further to the discovery potential of LISA. The next decade is crucial to prepare the astrophysical community for LISA’s first observations. This review outlines the extensive landscape of astrophysical theory, numerical simulations, and astronomical observations that are instrumental for modeling and interpreting the upcoming LISA datastream. To this aim, the current knowledge in three main source classes for LISA is reviewed; ultra-compact stellar-mass binaries, massive black hole binaries, and extreme or interme-diate mass ratio inspirals. The relevant astrophysical processes and the established modeling techniques are summarized. Likewise, open issues and gaps in our understanding of these sources are highlighted, along with an indication of how LISA could help making progress in the different areas. New research avenues that LISA itself, or its joint exploitation with upcoming studies in the electromagnetic domain, will enable, are also illustrated. Improvements in modeling and analysis approaches, such as the combination of numerical simulations and modern data science techniques, are discussed. This review is intended to be a starting point for using LISA as a new discovery tool for understanding our Universe.
