Results of the Multimessenger observations Division of the Einstein Telescope Observing Science Board
The Einstein Telescope is the European Next Generation gravitational wave (GW) interferometer. Despite the fact that it will be operational from the late 2030’s, its revolutionary capabilities require that the preparation of the multimessenger follow-up of the GW events (in terms of useful...

SVOM (Space-based multi-band astronomical Variable Objects Monitor) is a Sino-French mission launched in June 2024. Its Core Program is dedicated to the detection and study of Gamma-Ray Bursts (GRBs). I will show how the set of SVOM instruments as well as the observing strategy compare with previous mission, present the first results and show the new questions they are opening on the study of GRBs.

LISA is a signal-dominated instrument that will observe thousands of sources, from binaries in our galaxy to massive black hole binaries at very high redshift. However, the same aspect that makes LISA data so rich also makes it difficult to analyse. I will discuss the challenges that LISA data analysis poses and the ways we can overcome them. In particular, I will focus on two aspects: the...

The measurement of the current expansion rate of the Universe, known as the Hubble constant (H0), has garnered significant interest lately, owing to the vastly different estimates obtained when probing different cosmological epochs. In particular, high-redshift measurements of the cosmic microwave background and the local low-redshift measurements using supernovae are statistically...

1. From the accretion processes to the electromagnetic signatures of supermassive binary black holesRaphaël Mignon-Risse (CNRS/LAM)10/12/2025 16:30
Despite the re-birth of multi-messenger astronomy, no unambiguous electromagnetic (EM) counterpart to binary black hole (BBH) pre-/post-merger has been reported. Indeed, stellar-mass BBHs are expected to be gas-poor ; however, this should not be the case of supermassive BBHs, whose GWs will be detectable with LISA (2035+). Detecting the EM pre-merger counterpart would allow for optimal...

Next generation gravitational wave (GW) interferometers such as the Einstein Telescope (ET) will explore a significantly larger volume of the Universe, detecting up to 10$^{5}$ binary neutron star system mergers (BNS) per year beyond the Local Universe. Identifying the faint optical-NIR electromagnetic (EM) counterparts of these GW signals within vast sky localization regions, among a huge...

Observations of neutron stars can expand our understanding of strong interaction and help us explore the properties of dense matter in thermodynamic conditions unreachable in laboratories on Earth. In this overview, we discuss the field of extremely dense matter and particularly how gravitational waves combined with other astrophysical detections can constrain the equation of state of dense...

The surroundings of the supermassive black hole at the center of our galaxy, Sagittarius A*, are mostly unknown and for this reason many studies have tried to constrain the presence of an extended mass around it, with the aim of simulating either dark matter distribution or stellar clusters. However, all these works focus on spherically symmetric distributions of matter, while observations...

Context. The orbits of S stars around the Galactic Center black hole, Sgr A*, offer a unique opportunity to probe the relativistic regime of gravity and test the no-hair theorem. While the Schwarzschild precession has been detected with S2, the detection of spin-induced (Kerr) effects—Lense–Thirring and quadrupole moment terms—remains a major observational challenge.

The blazar 3C 66A is known for its optical flux periodicity and complex jet kinematics. Using 22/43 GHz KaVa (KVN and VERA array) observations and 43 GHz VLBA (Very Long Baseline Array) archival data, we have found that its pc-scale jet has a twisted structure and that the inner jet undergoes periodic swings every 13 years. In this talk, we will describe the peculiar characteristics of 3C 66A...

Black holes accrete and eject matter, giving rise to a complicated spectral signature which rise several open questions (low quiescent luminosity, mechanism supporting the emitted jets). They are known to provide a large reservoir of accessible (rotational) energy allowing to accelerated charged particles at very high energy through various mechanisms. In all these processes, the...

We present an analytical solution for the dynamics of spinning binary black holes on eccentric orbits at second post-Newtonian (2PN) order, extending the 1.5PN results of Cho and Lee. For the orbital angular momentum L and the individual spins S1 and S2, we exploit the separation of timescales between orbital motion and precession to construct a hybrid solution that combines the...

Circularity is an accidental symmetry of the Kerr metric, one that is widely assumed when searching for rotating black hole solutions in modified gravity as well as when constructing models of Kerr mimickers. Though extremely enticing, circularity is often an excessively restrictive assumption, and understanding the consequences of its loss is thus crucially relevant. In this seminar, I wish...

We are entering an era of high-precision measurements of black holes, either through gravitational waves (LVK, and soon LISA) or direct imaging (EHT). It is therefore interesting to study black hole spacetimes within both General Relativity (GR) and alternative theories, to confront them with observations. In GR, the Kerr spacetime, which describes rotating black holes, is the most general...

Numerical relativity (NR) provides the most accurate description of compact binary coalescences and other strong-field phenomena producing gravitational waves (GW). In this talk, I will review the history, main formalisms and current status of NR waveform generation. We will begin with binary black holes, discussing general aspects including GW extraction, as well as addressing current...

The response of a black hole to an external tidal field is encapsulated in the so-called Love numbers. While these are well known in the context of static and linear perturbations, future developments of gravitational-wave astronomy will require more precise results, taking subleading effects into account.
In the talk, I will show how to compute the response of a Schwarzschild black hole to...
