Description

The field of neutrino astronomy is undergoing a rapid evolution. After the discovery of a diffuse flux of astrophysical TeV-PeV neutrinos in 2013, the IceCube observatory has recently found first evidence for neutrino emission of blazars that undergo an episode of enhanced electro-magnetic emission. I will summarize these recent neutrino observations, highlight their relations to cosmic rays and gamma rays, and discuss candidate sources of the diffuse neutrino emission.
