High-Energy Neutrino Astronomy: Current Status and Prospects

Abstract

In the last decade, neutrino astronomy has taken off with two major breakthroughs, the first observation of high-energy astrophysical neutrinos in 2013 and the first evidence for gamma-rays and neutrinos from a single object published in summer 2018. In this talk, we will review these important milestones as well as the other noteworthy achievements reached by the community. We will emphasize the important role of neutrino searches in the multi-messenger era and describe the current efforts carried out in the large neutrino telescope community. We will conclude with an outlook for the coming decade.
