TLDR
The European Consortium for Astroparticle Theory (EuCAPT) white paper as mentioned in this paper explores upcoming theoretical opportunities and challenges for our field of research with particular emphasis on the possible synergies among different subfields, and the prospects for solving the most fundamental open questions with multi-messenger observations.
Abstract
Astroparticle physics is undergoing a profound transformation, due to a series of extraordinary new results, such as the discovery of high-energy cosmic neutrinos with IceCube, the direct detection of gravitational waves with LIGO and Virgo, and many others. This white paper is the result of a collaborative effort that involved hundreds of theoretical astroparticle physicists and cosmologists, under the coordination of the European Consortium for Astroparticle Theory (EuCAPT). Addressed to the whole astroparticle physics community, it explores upcoming theoretical opportunities and challenges for our field of research, with particular emphasis on the possible synergies among different subfields, and the prospects for solving the most fundamental open questions with multi-messenger observations.

The Observation of Gravitational Waves from a Binary Black Hole Merger

TL;DR: The first direct detection of gravitational waves and the first observation of a binary black hole merger were reported in this paper, with a false alarm rate estimated to be less than 1 event per 203,000 years, equivalent to a significance greater than 5.1σ.

Bow-Shock Pulsar Wind Nebulae Searches Aided by the North American Nanohertz Observatory for Gravitational Waves

TL;DR: The North American Nanohertz Observatory for Gravitational Waves (NANOW) is a collaboration of researchers who are actively engaged in using North American radio telescopes to detect and study gravitational waves (GWs) via pulsar timing.

Oscillons after Inflation

TL;DR: In this article, it was shown that in a class of well-motivated single-field models, inflation is followed by self resonance, leading to copious oscillon generation and a lengthy period of oscillon domination.

A Reverse Shock in GRB 130427A

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors present extensive radio and millimeter observations of the unusually bright GRB-130427A at z = 0.340, spanning 0.67-12 days after the burst.

A response to O. Arandjelovic's critique of "The reproducibility of research and the misinterpretation of p-values"

TL;DR: The main criticism of my piece in this article seems to be that my calculations rely on testing a point null hypothesis, i.e. the hypothesis that the true effect size is zero.

NANOGrav signal from magnetohydrodynamic turbulence at the QCD phase transition in the early Universe

TL;DR: In this article, the NANOGrav measurements were used to infer the magnetic field parameters: a comoving field strength close to microGauss and a correlation length close to 10% of the Hubble radius at the QCD phase transition epoch.

Hunting for Dark Particles with Gravitational Waves

TL;DR: In this article, the macroscopic properties of exotic compact objects (ECOs) are related to their microscopic properties, such as dark particle mass and couplings, and the smoking gun exotic signatures that would provide observational evidence for ECOs, and hence new particles, in terrestrial gravitational wave observatories.

Signals of Inflationary Models with Cosmic Strings

TL;DR: The current status of efforts to calculate and observe the signals from such models, with a particular emphasis on cosmic strings, and on the Cosmic Microwave Background signal, are outlined in this article.

Characteristics of hybrid compact stars with a sharp hadron-quark interface

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors proposed a constant speed-of-sound (CSS) parameterization of the quark matter equation of state (EoS), in which the speed of sound is independent of density.
