Title: Multi-messenger signals from neutron-star mergers  

Abstract: The recent observation of the first neutron-star binary merger (GW170817), in August last year, has solidified several ideas that theoretical models have proposed for the last decade regarding the possible outcomes of such events. However, there are many open questions that require further exploration. In this colloquium, I shall present the multi-messenger signals from this first coalescence and discuss the role of some aspects of nuclear physics in their interpretation.  

Stimulants available 15 minutes before the talk.
