[Everyone] PHAROS PhD training school

[Brynmor Haskell]

Dear colleagues,

This is the second announcement for the PHAROS (COST action CA16214 
[1]) PhD training school on multi-messenger physics and astrophysics 
with compact binaries, that will be held in Jena (Germany) from Monday 
March 11 to Friday March 15 2019.

The goal of the school is to contribute to the training of the next 
generation of scientists that will face the problem of interpreting 
multimessenger signals from compact binaries composed of neutron stars 
in the coming years. The school is aimed primarily at students and early 
career researchers and covers the following topics:

* Observational aspects.
- Current and future observatories, their operational mode, and the 
network organization.
- Main observables and their connection to astrophysical phenomena and 
sources.
- Relations between the sources and the emission mechanisms in the 
different bands and channels (gravitational, electromagnetic and 
neutrinos).
- Observational constraints on neutron star and merger remnant 
properties, and on the dense matter equation of state. 

* Theoretical modeling.
- Formation channels of compact binaries; masses distributions and 
rates.
- Coalescence dynamics and gravitational signals from general and 
numerical relativity.
- High-energy astrophysical phenomena; short gamma-ray burst and 
kilonova modeling and their connection to the strong-field dynamics.
- Role of nuclear and weak interactions in the merger dynamics and 
remnant; status and challenges of physical input models for theory and 
simulations.   

* Data analysis.
- Bayesian methods and standard tools employed by different communities.
- Shared frameworks for multi-messenger data analysis: status and 
perspectives.
- Data reduction and observational inputs.-
Input from theoretical modeling: models requirements and interpretation 
challenges.
