The Thrill of Discovery: Seeing Gravitational Waves AND Light from a Neutron Star Collision

"Holy Smokes! Seeing Gravitational Waves AND light from a Neutron Star Smashup? Now we're big time!”

On Aug 17, 2017, astronomers around the world saw an event they had waited a long, long time for, observing Gravitational Waves and Electromagnetic Radiation from a Binary Neutron Star merger. In this talk, Dr Gill will discuss what it was like to be in the center of that discovery maelstrom, and what we have learned from it so far, along with what we hope to learn from seeing future events of this form.

Speaker: Dr. Mandeep Gill, Stanford
