Content
Content
The School will cover basic aspects in multi-messenger astrophysics, ranging from the production mechanisms of neutrinos, gravitational waves and electromagnetic radiation in compact astrophysical sources (such as core-collapse supernovae, compact binary mergers, black holes) to the role of the above mentioned messengers in the source dynamics. Methods related to multi-messenger searches will be also treated in detail. Exercise tutorials are foreseen. The topics of the lectures are detailed in the preliminary program outlined below.

Scientific content:
Day 1: Neutrino production and propagation in compact sources. - Welcome Reception.
Day 2: Low-energy neutrino astronomy. Gravitational waves theory. - Exercise Session 1.
Day 3: Astrophysics with gravitational waves. - Exercise Session 2. – School Dinner
Day 4: Electromagnetic radiation from compact sources and detection techniques. - Exercise Session 3.
Day 5: Multi-messenger astrophysics.- Exercise Session 4.

Learning outcome
Learning outcome
• Introduce the students to the basic mechanisms driving the production of neutrinos, gravitational waves and electromagnetic radiation in compact sources and their detection.

• Bring together students interested in these topics and world leading scientists in the field in an environment fostering interactions and exchange of ideas. This will allow the students to develop their international network and start new collaborations.

• Encourage the students to continue working in the booming field of multi-messenger astrophysics emphasizing its multidisciplinary nature, and leveraging on the strong local interactions between groups at NBIA and DARK.

This PhD School will be interesting for postgraduate students (or advanced master students) working in particle astrophysics and high-energy astrophysics at the Niels Bohr Institute. In order to create a stimulating international atmosphere, the course will be advertised in European and non-European institutions involved in this research field. We expect on the order of 15 local participants and about 25 students from other universities. The external instructors are world-known leaders in their field, both with excellent teaching abilities. This will be an important asset to attract international attention and will be instrumental in the success and impact of this event.

Lecturers
Remarks
Guest lecturers:
Sera Markoff, University of Amsterdam (The Netherlands).
Todd Thompson, Ohio State University (USA).

Teachers from UCPH-SCIENCE:
Irene Tamborra, Associate Professor (tamborra@nbi.ku.dk).
Enrico Ramirez-Ruiz, Niels Bohr Professor (enrico@ucolick.org).

Remarks
Organizational aspects:

• The courses are organized jointly with the Niels Bohr International Academy and DARK, which will provide infrastructure such as office space, discussion rooms and coffee breaks. The lectures will take place at Auditorium A, Blegdamsvej 17.

• On each day, in order to provide opportunities for discussions for lecturers and students, we will have coffee breaks in between lectures in the morning and in the afternoon.

• A social dinner for all participants will be organized during the course of the school.
