Oral talk - Theory or phenomenology Neutrino astronomy and multi-messenger astrophysics Plenary

Speaker

Prof. Radice David (Penn State)

Description

In this talk I will review our current theoretical understanding of the dynamics of neutron star mergers, focusing on the impact of the dense matter equation of state and of neutrino radiation. I will discuss the current progress and future potential of multi-messenger observations to constrain the properties of extreme matter and the r-process nucleosynthesis yields of mergers. Finally, I will highlight pressing theory challenges.
