The program QUID ULTRA? Frontiers and Controversies in Astrophysics is a series of monthly prestigious colloquia that will be 
running from early February till December 2021. This initiative has been funded by Sapienza University with the co-sponsorship of 
INAF/Astronomical Observatory of Rome and of the joint PhD program in Astronomy, Astrophysics and Space Science of Sapienza, 
Tor Vergata University and INAF.

Looking forward to seeing you soon, 

Raffaella Schneider (on behalf of the SOC)

Title: New perspectives onto the Universe in the era of multi-messenger astrophysics

Abstract:
Since the revolutionary discovery of gravitational wave (GW) emission from a binary black hole merger in 2015, the exquisite GW detectors LIGO, Virgo and KAGRA 
have detected more than 90 compact object mergers. Most notably, one of these mergers corresponds to the first binary neutron star merger, dubbed GW170817. 
This event has been transformative because it was observed in both gravitational and electromagnetic radiation, thus opening up a new era in multimessenger astrophysics. 
The multi-messenger characterisation of such an event has enabled major advances into diverse fields of modern physics from gravity, high-energy and extragalactic astrophysics, 
nuclear physics, to cosmology. In this talk, I will discuss work in strong-field gravity astrophysics and how combining observations, theory and experiment is key to make progress 
in this field. I will present the opportunities and challenges that have emerged in multi-messenger astrophysics, and what the future holds in this new era.
