  1. 57. The challenge of understanding AGNs through extensive multiwavelength observations

    Invited

    The Active Galactic Nuclei (AGN) are the most powerful persistent sources in the Universe, bringing information from extreme environments expected to accelerate particles to energies well above those at reach on Earth-based laboratories. In the last decade, the advent of novel instrumentation has boosted our capabilities to study these environments across the electromagnetic spectrum. Such...

  2. 58. EBL models and cosmology with gamma rays

    Invited

    Gamma-rays from cosmological gamma-ray sources, primarily blazars but also gamma-ray bursts, interact with the extragalactic background light (EBL) photons, and are absorbed. This allows one to use gamma-ray absorption to constrain the EBL, which depends strongly on a number of quantities that are interesting from an astrophysical and cosmological point of view. This includes the universe's...

  3. 59. High-Energy Neutrino Observations by IceCube

    Neutrinos
    Invited

    The IceCube neutrino observatory at the geographic South Pole has been operating at full capacity for the past ten years. In 2013, IceCube reported first evidence of an isotropic flux of astrophysical neutrinos in the TeV-PeV energy range. While the flux is by now observed with high significance, its astrophysical origin is unknown. Only recently, IceCube was able to report first compelling...

  4. 60. Theoretical perspectives on Multimessenger Astronomy with astrophysical neutrinos
    Anita Reimer (University of Innsbruck)

    Neutrinos
    Invited

    Multi-messenger astrophysics experienced a tremendous boost, after the first detection of astrophysical neutrinos was reported eight years ago. Despite having uncovered a large variety of gamma-ray emitting source classes up to today, a firm identification of the dominant source population responsible for the detected high-energy neutrino all-sky flux is, however, still lacking.
    In this...
