Attacking the (Multi-)Messenger: Simulating a Kilonova
Neutron stars (NSs) are the most extreme objects known, composed of a form of matter so extraordinarily dense that it teeters on the brink of collapse into a black hole.

Today we interview Dr. Wen-fai Fong, professor at Northwestern and recipient of the 2024 Lancelot M Berkeley-New York Community Trust Prize for Meritorious Work in Astronomy for #AAS243!
Today’s authors discuss prospects for observing neutron star – black hole mergers in multiple messengers!
How dangerous are kilonovae to life on Earth? Find out today!
The Hubble tension remains a major open question in contemporary cosmology. Today’s paper addresses using gravitational waves and light from neutron star mergers to constrain the Hubble constant.
Transients are some of the most variable and most explosive objects in our universe. We’ve got a great overview about all different types of transients in this guide!
