Description

Binary neutron-star (BNS) mergers are accompanied by multi-messenger
emissions, including gravitational wave (GW), neutrino, and
electromagnetic (EM) signals. Some fraction of BNS mergers may result in a
rapidly spinning magnetar as a remnant, which can enhance both the EM
and neutrino emissions. In this talk, I will discuss
the possible neutrino and EM signatures from such systems. I will also discuss the possibility and prospects of performing GW-triggered
stacking searches for high-energy neutrinos from such sources at IceCube-Gen2, using the next generation of GW detectors like Einstein Telescope and Cosmic Explorer.
