Description
The detection of gravitational waves from the binary neutron star merger, GW 170817, and subsequent short GRB as well as a kilonova signature and late afterglow confirmed a standing predictions and opened new fields of research. In this talk I will review early predictions, observations and interpretation as well as lessons that have been learnt. I will also review the exciting new line of studies that has emerged from this discovery and expectations for future events.
