I review the results of searches for gravitational-wave signals associated with gamma-ray bursts carried out in the first three observing runs of Advanced LIGO and Advanced Virgo. During this stretch of time, the spectacular GW170817-GRB 170817A event was observed, and constraints on the low-luminosity short gamma-ray burst population were placed. In the coming years, an increase in...
The search for gravitational waves transient sources with LIGO and Virgo is mainly limited by non-Gaussian transient noise artefacts coming from a wide variety of provenances, such as seismic, acoustic and electromagnetic disturbances. The contamination by these "instrumental glitches" can be partially mitigated by requesting temporal coincidence in two or more detectors as their accidental...
Neutrinos with energies ranging from GeV to sub-TeV are expected to be produced in Gamma-Ray Bursts (GRBs) as a result of the dissipation of the jet kinetic energy through nuclear collisions occurring around or below the photosphere, where the jet is still optically thick to high-energy radiation. So far, the neutrino emission from the inelastic collisional model in GRBs has been poorly...
The Pierre Auger Observatory is the world’s largest experiment for the detection of ultra-high-energy (UHE) air showers, produced by particles with energies above ~$10^{18}$ eV. In addition to providing the most precise measurements of UHE cosmic rays properties, the Observatory exhibits also unprecedented sensitivities to UHE photons, neutrinos and neutrons, which makes it an excellent tool...
The core collapse supernova SN1987A was the first extra-galactic transient source ob- served in neutrinos, and 25 events detected by neutrino telescopes in the epoch marked the begin- ning of neutrino astronomy. Neutrino telescopes have not been able to make another supernova observation due to the remoteness of the sources. It is therefore essential to optimize the detection channel of...
