New signatures of compact object mergers

The mergers of compact objects (neutron stars and black holes) have now been securely detected via gravitational wave observations and associated with electromagnetic signals in the form of short-duration gamma-ray bursts and kilonovae. The continued identification of further events in both gravitational waves and electromagnetic light remains a high priority for the field but is also very challenging. I will discuss recent evidence linking a subset of long GRBs to compact object mergers and how these events may both enlarge the sample of well-studied mergers and highlight new and hitherto unidentified channels for their formation.
