abstract

The mergers of binaries containing neutron stars and stellar-mass black holes are the most promising sources for direct detection in gravitational waves by the interferometers Advanced LIGO and Virgo over the next few years. The concurrent detection of electromagnetic emission from these events would greatly enhance the scientific return of these discoveries. Here we review the state of the art in modeling the electromagnetic signal of neutron star binary mergers across different phases of the merger and multiple wavelengths. We focus on those observables which provide the most sensitive diagnostics of the merger physics and the contribution to the synthesis of rapid neutron capture ($r$-process) elements in the Galaxy. We also outline expected future developments on the observational and theoretical sides of this rapidly evolving field.

  1. A Multi-Wavelength View of the First Type Ic-BL Supernova with an Einstein Probe X-ray Shock Breakout

    astro-ph.HE 2026-06 unverdicted novelty 7.0 of 10

    First definitive X-ray shock breakout from a Type Ic-BL supernova, with radio constraints and a rate calculation implying most such supernovae produce fainter signals than observed here.

  2. Binary neutron stars in the next-generation era: Multi-messenger detection prospects and constraints on the equation of state, mass distribution, and cosmology

    astro-ph.HE 2026-07 conditional novelty 6.0 of 10

    With ET (and ET+CE), mock multi-messenger BNS catalogues yield ~40–500 EM counterparts per year and, under ideal recovery, constrain R1.4 to ~0.2 km and H0 to ~1 km s−1 Mpc−1.

  3. Astrophysics and cosmology with a decihertz gravitational-wave detector: TianGO

    gr-qc 2019-08 conditional novelty 6.0 of 10

    A decihertz space gravitational-wave detector paired with a ground network would localize compact binary mergers far more precisely than the ground network alone, supporting standard-siren cosmology, early warning, an...
