32. AMON: real-time operations

Gordana Tešić (Penn State University)

12/7/16, 9:20 AM

HAP Workshop

Oral

The Astrophysical Multimessenger Observatory Network (AMON) will link the world’s leading high-energy neutrino, cosmic-ray, gamma-ray and gravitational wave observatories by performing real-time coincidence searches for multimessenger sources from observatories’ subthreshold data streams. The resulting coincidences will be distributed to interested parties in the form of electronic alerts for...

12. Multi-messenger studies with the Pierre Auger Observatory

Dr Foteini Oikonomou (Penn State)

HAP Workshop

Oral

The Pierre Auger Observatory is the world’s largest cosmic-ray detector, sensitive to cosmic rays with energy exceeding $\sim 10^{17}$ eV. In addition to charged cosmic rays that form the bulk of the cosmic-ray flux at ultra-high energies, Auger is sensitive to ultra-high energy neutral messengers (photons, neutrinos, and neutrons). The later are particularly exciting as they are expected to...

13. Searching for sources of high-energy neutrinos with Swift

Dr Azadeh Keivani (The Pennsylvania State University)

HAP Workshop

Oral

The IceCube high-energy neutrino observatory has reported a 6.5$\sigma$ discovery of the first high-energy astrophysical neutrino candidates. However, the nature of the sources responsible for these neutrinos -- potentially also the sources of the highest-energy cosmic rays -- is still unknown and no high-confidence counterparts to any of the neutrino events have been yet identified. If the...
