Description
The discovery of astrophysical neutrinos has opened a new window on the non-thermal Universe, with blazars being among the leading candidate source classes. Their relativistic jets provide favorable conditions for the acceleration of particles to ultra-high energies, potentially producing high-energy neutrinos together with electromagnetic radiation. In this contribution, I will discuss the physical processes responsible for neutrino production in blazars, as well as several individual sources that have been associated with high-energy neutrino emission.
