A new era in multi-messenger astronomy — •Marek Kowalski — Humboldt-Universität zu Berlin — Deutsches Elektronen-Synchrotron

With the recent discoveries of gravitational waves and high-energy cosmic neutrinos we are witnessing the beginning of a new era in Multi-Messenger astronomy. The exploration of the Universe through these new messengers, along with electromagnetic radiation and cosmic rays, provides for new insights into the most extreme, energetic cosmic events, environments and particle accelerators. The objects of interest range from galaxies with accreting supermassive black holes in their center to coalescing stellar neutron stars. In my talk I will discuss some of the recent observations in gravitational wave and neutrino astronomy, the gains from combining the information from the various messengers, as well as highlight selected future directions.
