SHINING A SPOTLIGHT ON AFRICAN RESEARCH

Review of the online analyses of multi-messenger alerts and electromagnetic transient events with the ANTARES neutrino telescope

Journal of Cosmology and Astroparticle Physics, Volume 2023, No. 8, Article 072, Year 2023

By constantly monitoring a very large portion of the sky, neutrino telescopes are well-designed to detect neutrinos emitted by transient astrophysical events. Real-time searches with the ANTARES telescope have been performed to look for neutrino candidates coincident with gamma-ray bursts detected by the Swift and Fermi satellites, high-energy neutrino events registered by IceCube, transient events from blazars monitored by HAWC, photon-neutrino coincidences by AMON notices and gravitational wave candidates observed by LIGO/Virgo. By requiring temporal coincidence, this approach increases the sensitivity and the significance of a potential discovery. This paper summarises the results of the follow-up performed of the ANTARES telescope between January 2014 and February 2022, which corresponds to the end of the data-taking period.
