Description
The discovery, in 2013, of a diffuse astrophysical neutrino flux by IceCube marked the beginning of neutrino astronomy. Since then, great efforts have been devoted to the search for cosmic neutrino sources. Although any neutrino source has been unambiguously identified, the neutrino high energy event candidate IC170922 triggered a multiwavelenght observation campaign providing a hint for neutrino emission from the blazar TXS 0506+056 and inaugurating the multi messenger astronomy.
Several other results have been provided by the IceCube Collaboration in the field of neutrino properties and astronomy. In June 2023, the IceCube Neutrino Observatory has produced the first image of the Milky Way using neutrinos providing evidence of high-energy neutrino emission from our Galaxy. The need for a complete coverage of the neutrino sky, especially in the muon channel that is the golden channel for neutrino astronomy, trigged the construction and installation of a neutrino telescope in the Northern hemisphere.
ANTARES was a 0.01 km3 underwater telescope that operated at 2400 m depth off shore Toulon for 12 years providing limits on several neutrino sources. The next generation underwater detector is KM3NeT that consists of two telescopes based on the same detection technology, currently under deployment in the Mediterranean Sea. ARCA, off-shore Sicily (Italy) is the km3 telescope devoted to neutrino astronomy while ORCA, off-shore Toulon (France) is devoted to neutrino properties. ARCA will provide an almost total coverage of the neutrino sky with unprecedented angular resolution thus enhancing the discovery potential for neutrino point-like sources. The GVD neutrino telescope is also under construction at lake Baikal (Russia). In this review results and perspectives of neutrino astronomy will be discussed.
