The emergence of a new sky: First associations of IceCube high-energy neutrinos to cosmic sources

Description
Neutrinos are the universe's ultimate messengers—nearly massless particles traveling vast cosmic distances almost unobstructed. In this talk, I’ll introduce the IceCube Neutrino Observatory, a cubic-kilometer-scale detector buried deep in the Antarctic ice at the geographic South Pole. I'll describe how IceCube searches for neutrinos from extreme cosmic environments like active galactic nuclei (AGN) and what these observations reveal about the most energetic processes in the universe. Along the way, I’ll highlight recent breakthroughs, examine the interplay between neutrinos, X-rays, and gamma rays in multi-messenger astronomy, and discuss the challenges and opportunities for neutrino astronomy in the near future.
