Multichannel Studies of Nonstationary Relativistic Stars: Block 1
- Vladimir Lipunov (Lomonosov Moscow State University, SAI, Physics Department)
Description
This session will focus on multimessenger observations and predictions of catastrophic events near relativistic stars: neutron stars, stellar and supermassive black holes. We will talk about new multichannel operational observations and models in which new sciences are born - gravitational-wave astronomy (mergers of neutron stars and black holes), extragalactic neutrino astronomy (blazars and high-energy neutrinos), transient radio astronomy (Magnetars, Fast Radio Bursts, Soft Gamma Repeaters) and so on.

Systems (HMXBs) is presented. Among these I will discuss the X-ray/Be systems and
in particular A0535 + 26/HDE245770. Through the multifrequency
experimental data obtained in long observation campaigns it was
possible to develop a particular model for the aforementioned system
and then a general one that explains the delay between... -

We present the results of synchronous multiwave observations of the intrinsic gamma and optical radiation of the long GRB160625B gamma-ray burst by the MASTER Global Network, the Lomonosov Gamma-Observatory and the Konus-Wind gamma detector. We see traces of quasiperiodic optical pulsations of the intrinsic optical radiation on scales of several tens of seconds. We associate quasiperiodic...

in how stars merge, collapse and explode. The powering mechanism for
many of these requires a source beyond radioactivity, plausibly a
magnetic, rapidly spinning neutron star. The discovery of
the electromagnetic counterpart to a pair of merging neutron stars
and other rapid transients from merging binary systems... -

We report multicolor optical imaging and polarimetry observations of the afterglow of the first TeV-detected gamma-ray burst (GRB), GRB 190114C, using the RINGO3 and MASTER II polarimeters. Observations begin 31 s after the onset of the GRB and continue until ∼7000 s postburst. The light curves reveal a chromatic break at ∼400-500 s, with initial temporal decay α = 1.669 ± 0.013 flattening to...
