Searches for point-like sources of cosmic neutrinos with 11 years of ANTARES data

Understand

The main goal of the ANTARES neutrino telescope is the identification of neutrinos from cosmic accelerators.

• The good visibility towards the Southern sky for neutrino energies below 100 TeV and the good angular resolution for reconstructed events make the telescope excellent to test for the presence of point-like sources, especially of Galactic origin.
• The median angular resolution for track-like events (mainly from $\nu_{\mu}$ CC interactions) is $0.4^{\circ}$ while the median angular resolution for contained shower-like events (mainly from $\nu_{e}$ CC and all-flavour NC interactions) is $3^{\circ}$.
• Recently the ANTARES Collaboration published the result of the search for cosmic point-like neutrino sources using track-like and shower-like events collected during nine years of data taking.
