Description
The discovery of the first astrophysical sources of high-energy neutrinos by IceCube jump-started high-energy neutrino astronomy. To advance the field, we must increase the number of identified sources from a few to dozens. However, progress is currently limited by the relatively low detection rate of astrophysical neutrinos and restricted sky coverage of IceCube, the single kilometer-scale neutrino telescope in operation. Already today---thanks to KM3NeT and Baikal-GVD---and more so over the next 10--20 years, this challenge will be overcome by the combined observations of new neutrino telescopes, larger and distributed around the world. They will increase the global neutrino detection rate by up to 30 times and provide continuous all-sky coverage. Within the joint analysis framework of the Planetary Neutrino Monitoring network (PLE$\nu$M), we show how combining data from these telescopes will expedite source discovery---sometimes by decades---and enable the detection of fainter sources across the sky. High-energy neutrino astronomy is a global endeavor, and advancing it meaningfully will require a united global effort.
