Multi-Messenger Astrophysics in the Dynamic Universe
Multi-Messenger Astrophysics in the Dynamic Universe, January 26 – February 27, 2026 at YITP Kyoto University Astrophysics has finally entered a new era, transitioning from the multi-wavelength observation approach of the 20th century to the era of multi-messenger observations. The discovery of the binary neutron star merger event GW170817 in 2017 marked the beginning of this shift, as it was first detected through a gravitational wave and gamma-ray burst, followed by electromagnetic counterparts observed across various wavelengths, including X-ray, optical, infrared, and radio. In addition to gravitational waves, significant advancements have also been made in other multi-messenger signals, such as high-energy neutrinos and high-energy gamma rays. Traditional X-ray, optical, infrared,…
