What is Multi-Messenger Astronomy?
Multi-messenger astronomy is when we combine data acquired from multiple 'messengers.' In our case, this refers to gravitational waves and electromagnetic waves, by combining data from GW observatories (like LIGO-VIRGO-KAGRA) and gamma-/X-ray data from CAPIGX and other missions we want to reduce the uncertainty of cosmological parameters.What is Cosmology?
Cosmology is the study of the cosmos, its origin, evolution, fate and composition. It explores dark energy, the distribution of matter in large-scale structures, and its expansion. As a young field, it still has many open questions, like dark energy, dark matter, or the Hubble Tension.Theoretical models that help use understand the behavior of the Universe use cosmological parameters to represent our own Universe. With our data we aim to reduce the uncertainty with which we are able to measure these parameters, possibly hinting to new physics.
