Physics and Astrophysics of Gamma-Ray Bursts by Frédéric Daigne

Explore the physics and astrophysics of gamma-ray bursts in this third lecture of a series delivered by Frédéric Daigne. Part of the Gravitational Wave Astrophysics online program organized by the International Centre for Theoretical Sciences, this 1 hour 38 minute lecture delves into the complex phenomena of gamma-ray bursts. Learn about the latest research and theories surrounding these powerful cosmic events, their connection to gravitational waves, and their role in multimessenger astronomy. Gain insights into numerical relativity, hydrodynamics, and the modeling of short gamma-ray bursts and kilonovae. Designed for graduate students and young researchers, this lecture contributes to a comprehensive summer school focused on the multimessenger modeling of compact binary mergers.
