Abstract
The recent detection of gravitational waves (GW) have launched effectively the field of multimessenger astronomy. High energy neutrinos (HEN) have been detected as a diffuse flux and show indications of transient point sources. They can bring crucial informations on cataclysmic cosmic events by identifying hadrons acceleration to high energies and pointing back to the source at the degree level which is an asset for follow-up of GW events with photonic telescopes. We will review the current searches for joint sources of gravitational waves and high energy neutrinos performed with the ANTARES telescope and the perspectives offered by its successor KM3NeT.
Highlights
The impressive follow-up campaign [1] triggered by the detection of gravitational waves and gamma rays from the merger of two neutrons stars has shown the potential of the multimessenger approach in the study of transient high energy cosmic events
Joint searches for sub-threshold coincident events with gravitational interferometers and high energy neutrinos would help characterize the population of sources than could fill the gap between core collapse supernovae and gamma ray bursts [2]
Since the first detection of gravitational waves (GW) from a binary black hole (BBH) merger by the LIGO observatory, the ANTARES neutrino telescope has participated in the global follow-up efforts [5] in collaboration with the IceCube neutrino observatory
Summary
The impressive follow-up campaign [1] triggered by the detection of gravitational waves and gamma rays from the merger of two neutrons stars has shown the potential of the multimessenger approach in the study of transient high energy cosmic events. High energy cosmic neutrinos can bring crucial information in this context, tracing the presence of accelerated high energy hadrons in this kind of events and enabling in case of detection a faster and most efficient follow-up thanks to their degree scale pointing and all-sky monitoring. Joint searches for sub-threshold coincident events with gravitational interferometers and high energy neutrinos would help characterize the population of sources than could fill the gap between core collapse supernovae and gamma ray bursts [2]. We will review here such searches that have been performed with the ANTARES neutrino telescope and the perspectives for its successor KM3NeT
