Multi-Messenger Astronomy is a new way to explore the universe through the integration of data from various sources of cosmic messengers: electromagnetic radiation (photons), gravitational waves, neutrinos, and cosmic rays. This inter-disciplinary branch enables scientists to gain a holistic perspective on astrophysical events, yielding information inaccessible through the observation of a single channel only. The historic event GW170817 in 2017 was the first observation of a binary neutron star merger with both gravitational waves and electromagnetic counterparts.
This finding validated kilonovae theories of heavy element formation, pushed the frontiers of neutron star physics, and demonstrated the capability of multi-messenger observations.Multi-Messenger Astronomy is a new epoch in astrophysics, spanning observational methods and delivering greater insight into the most violent and powerful astrophysical processes in the universe. It is revolutionizing our understanding of the universe by making the invisible links between disparate cosmic messengers visible.
Welcome to the conference for Astrophysics and Particle Physics 2026, in which top minds from all over the globe unite to present findings, unravel the secrets of the cosmos, spark innovation, and drive science forward. Join us to work together, connect with each other, and forge the future of astrophysics and particle physics.
