The Environmental Sustainability and Energy Team at LJMU are holding a number of cycling based activities and events throughout the year.
Join us for a guided walk around the National Trust site at Formby!
The Environmental Sustainability and Energy Team at LJMU are litter picking around campus, keeping our city and estate clean for our community.
Type Iax supernovae: Extreme thermonuclear explosions
A neutron star binary merges somewhere in the Universe approximately every 10 to 1000 seconds, creating violent explosions potentially observable in gravitational waves and across the electromagnetic spectrum. The transformative coincident gravitational wave and electromagnetic observations of the binary neutron star merger GW170817 gave invaluable insights into these cataclysmic collisions and fundamental astrophysics. However, despite our high expectations, we have failed to see any other event like it. In this talk, I will highlight what we can learn from other observations of mergers seen directly in gravitational waves or indirectly as a gamma-ray burst and/or kilonova. I will also discuss the diversity in electromagnetic and gravitational-wave emission we can expect for future mergers and showcase tools to help maximally extract physics from existing and future observations.
Come and join us as we litter pick around the Education Building and John Fosters Garden.
