1 Pisa, Sept 12th, 2017 Gruppo Virgo MiB+PR (PI Bernuzzi) Gruppo Virgo TO (PI Nagar) Planned activities: Extreme matter from CBC signals CBC waveform R&D Offline analysis R&D Astrophysical modeling of CBs Rates of R&D

2 Gruppi Virgo MiB+PR & TO Mission: Develop the theoretical knowledge and tools necessary for the GW data analysis and the interpretation of compact binaries events Top-players with unique expertises on all key aspects Waveform modeling [Bernuzzi, Nagar] Analytical & numerical relativity [Bernuzzi, Nagar] Multimessenger astrophysics [Bernuzzi, Colpi, Ghirlanda, Perego, Salafia] Formation channels & rates [Colpi, Mapelli, Spera] First Virgo group focusing on CBC waveform development, independent models [LIGO main players: AEI, Cardiff-Palma] DEVELOP state-of-art CBC models: GW from binary black holes [Nagar+ 14,17] GW from binaries with matter [Bernuzzi+ 15,17] EM counterparts and afterglows of [Colpi, Ghirlanda, Perego, Salafia +17] Dynamical formation channels in cosmological framework [Spera, Mapelli 17] Cosmography with multi-messenger signals [Colpi, Ghirlanda, Salafia +17] WANT TO: Interface and develop offline searches and PE pipelines Contribute to event interpretation and science

3 Virgo role in GW astronomy observations (< 2023) Network of detectors OBSERVATORIES Improved sensitivity for PE Enlarge the horizon (detection rate) Sky localization Multiple compact binaries (CB) events New sources: binary neutron stars (BNS) (and BH-NS binaries) Electromagnetic counterparts Key gap to fill amongst INFN activities Interface data-analysis & theoretical modeling

4 Example: Extracting information from BBH events noise signal DATA ANALYSIS PIPELINES (Matched filtering) EOB MODELING: dynamics & waveforms Resummed EOB model: [Damour&Nagar 2012 Nagar+ 2017] Is GR correct? Is the source a pair of black holes? Horizon? No-hair theorem? How do these black holes form? Answer to each question requires waveforms and dedicated pipelines

5 Example: Multimessenger signals from BNS events Constraints on neutron star matter (EOS) Origin of heavy elements Identification of CBC as engines of GRB and kn Measure of H0 Strong-field modeling + nuclear & astrophysics input NUMERICAL RELATIVITY & RELATIVISTIC ASTROPHYSICS models: GW from CBC w\ tidal effects [Bernuzzi ] Kilonova (kn) emission [Perego, Colpi, Ghirlanda+ 2017]

6 Science output from CBCs Fundamental physics High-energy astrophysics Cosmology Strong field test of dynamical general relativity Constraints on structure of matter at supranuclear densities (NS EOS) Origin of heavy elements * Kilonovae and r-process site * Constraints on stellar evolution and BH and NS binary formation models Unveil short-gamma-ray-burst (SGRB) engines * Cosmography, H0 * GOAL OF THE MiB+PR & TO groups: Maximize this science outcome exploiting synergy with data-analysis * requires electromagnetic counterpart

7 Synergy & Collaborations Virgo Pisa (Del Pozzo) CBC data analysis (PE) Virgo Trento-Padova (Ciolfi, Giacomazzo, Prodi) Burst data analysis BNS modeling Virgo GSSI * (Branchesi) EM counterparts Virgo MIB+PR & TO (Bernuzzi, Colpi, Ghirlanda, Mapelli, Nagar) CBC waveform R&D Rates and population Astrophysical distribution Virgo NIKHEF (Van den Broeck) CBC data analysis (PE) Virgo Nejmengen * (Nissanke.
