Antares/Virgo Coincidences : a feasibility study

Abstract

Sources of gravitational waves (GW) and emitters of high energy (HE) neutrinos both involve compact objects and matter moving at relativistic speeds. Coincidences between Virgo and Antares would give a unique insight on the physics of the most powerful objects in the Universe. The feasibility of such GW/HE neutrino coincidences is analysed.
