The advent of advanced detectors truly opened the era of GW astronomy with the first signals from transient sources detected by Advanced LIGO and Advanced Virgo during the O1 and O2 runs. These include binary black hole mergers and the spectacular GW170817, the first signal from a binary neutron star coalescence and its associated electromagnetic counterparts. The talk will review the wealth...

The discovery of gravitational waves and their
multimessenger fingerprint has opened tremendous opportunities for
astrophysics. Extraordinary instrumental breakthroughs in
gravitational-wave detectors on Earth and in Space, in electromagnetic
and in neutrino observatories shall lead to an information explosion
during the coming years and decades, rapidly expanding humanity’s cosmic...

The first detections of gravitational waves from colliding black holes and neutron stars in 2015 and 2017 have started the field of gravitational-wave astronomy.
In this talk I will introduce some principles of the instruments making
these detections possible, focusing on the US-based LIGO detectors.
These exquisitely sensitive laser interferometers combine elements
from different fields...

After the exciting results obtained by Advanced Virgo in the last joint run with LIGO, the observation of first GW source together with gamma and X satellites and astronomical
observatories and the scientific outcomes of this revolutionary observation, we report on the status of Advanced Virgo before the next, new observation run and on the perspectives of the upgrades for the future

Despite much effort in the past, only very recently the first true multi-messenger measurements have been made. Gamma ray emission has been seen from a gravitational wave merger event and a gamma transient has been seen in coincidence with a high-energy neutrino event. Thus, the excitement and expectations are high, even though the journal papers are just written. Both events are transients...

The Astrophysical Multimessenger Observatory Network (AMON) is the first continuous, real-time system designed to enable the discovery of the sources of transient multimessenger signals. By sifting through subthreshold event streams from several multimessenger facilities, and correlating them in real-time in search of coincident subthreshold events, AMON provides a significant enhancement in...

The era of high energy neutirno astronomy has come. The IceCube Neutrino Observatory started to operate the two online neutrno event selection channels, HESE (High-Energy Starting Event) and EHE (Extremely-High Energy).
Informations on a cosmic neutrino event candidate identified by these selections are delivered in public to world-wide astronomical facilities, which realize prompt follow-up...

With the observation of the first electromagnetic counterpart of
Gravitational Wave (GW) transient GW170817, the potential of
multi-messenger astronomy has been clearly demonstrated. In its full
configuration, the Cherenkov Telescope Array (CTA) observatory will be capable of rapidly covering the regions localized by future GW observations with sufficient sensitivity at very high-energy...
