Speaker

Luca Izzo (INAF-Naples & DARK/NBI)

Description

I will review the properties of kilonova host galaxies, focusing in particular on kilonovae detected from their associated gamma-ray burst component. A special consideration will be devoted to the physical properties of KNe, such as the offset from their hosts, and considerations on their formation channels.
