The Dawn of Multi-Messenger Astronomy

Understand

The recent discoveries of high-energy astrophysical neutrinos and gravitational waves have opened new windows of exploration to the Universe.

• Combining neutrino observations with measurements of electromagnetic radiation and cosmic rays promises to unveil the sources responsible for the neutrino emission and to help solve long-standing problems in astrophysics such as the origin of cosmic rays.
• Neutrino observations may also help localize gravitational-wave sources, and enable the study of their astrophysical progenitors.
• In this work we review the current status and future plans for multi-messenger searches of neutrino sources.
