X-ray follow-up of extragalactic transients
Abstract
Most violent and energetic processes in our universe, including mergers of compact objects, explosions of massive stars and extreme accretion events, produce copious amounts of X-rays. We identify key questions about several extragalactic multi-messenger and multi-wavelength transients, and demonstrate how X-ray followup answers these questions.
