Gamma-ray flashes from dark photons in neutron star mergers
Date: Friday, March 26th
Time: 2:00 pm - 3:00 pm

Speaker: Gustavo Marques Tavares, University of Maryland
Abstract: In this talk, I will show how dark photons can lead to a very bright flash of gamma-rays immediately after a binary neutron star merger. This presents a new promising avenue to explore dark sectors through multi-messenger astronomy in the gravitational wave era.
