Description
The IceCube observatory, a cosmic neutrino detector located in the South Pole at a depth of about 3500 m, is the first and largest operating km3 neutrino telescope on the Earth. The IceCube’s discovery of neutrino events of cosmic origin in the TeV-PeV energy range stated the beginning of the age of neutrino astronomy.
The ANTARES telescope was the first operational Neutrino Telescope in the Mediterranean Sea built at a depth of 2500 m offshore of Toulon, France, searching for astrophysical neutrinos in the very high energy range. The ANTARES neutrino observatory provided a dataset which covers almost ten years of data acquisition, allowing for the study of galactic neutrino sources.
The KM3NeT collaboration started to build a multi-km3 neutrino telescope in the Mediterranean Sea. The telescope is composed of the ARCA detector, optimised for searches for high-energy neutrino sources in the Universe and it is under construction at the Capo Passero site, Italy, 80 km offshore at a depth of 3500 m; and the ORCA detector, located in the Toulon area, France, 40 km offshore at a depth of 2500 m, aimed at the determination of the mass hierarchy of neutrinos.
In this talk, an overview of the latest results and future perspectives from ANTARES, IceCube and KM3NeT Collaborations concerning the Galactic diffuse emission and astrophysical source studies will be presented.
