Description

We will review the status of the observations of cosmic neutrinos and the model-independent constraints on the properties of the sources where they originate. We will emphasize the multimessenger relations connecting neutrino, gamma ray, and cosmic-ray observations and conclude that neutrinos are ubiquitous in the nonthermal universe suggesting a more significant role than previously anticipated. We will discuss the prospect of observing individual point sources, as well as the “guaranteed” flux of cosmogenic neutrinos.
