Multi-wavelength-messenger study of Gamma Ray Bursts

Content

Gamma Ray Bursts power highly collimated relativistic jets which shine throughout the electromagnetic spectrum from the radio to the TeV energy range. Short GRBs, produced by the merger of compact binaries hosting at least a neutron star, are key targets to exploit the multimessenger power of combining gravitational waves and electromagnetic observations. I will present the current knowledge of GRB jets with particular focus on what radio flux density monitoring and high resolution imaging can bring to the field and how the multi-messenger field may evolve towards the third generation of gravitational wave interferometers.
