Europe/Zurich
500/1-001 - Main Auditorium (CERN)
Description
There has been considerable recent progress in the measurements of primary cosmic rays (electrons, positrons and nuclei), as well as in the detection of the gamma rays and the lower-energy “afterglow” associated with the binary neutron-star merger that was first seen by the gravitational wave detectors. I shall discuss these results and some of their interpretation(s). A fraction of the astrophysics community is somewhat peculiar, in a sociological sense. I shall briefly comment on that, en passant.
