IceCube real-time search for high-energy neutrino emission from gravitational waves

Gravitational waves (GWs) are produced by some of the most violent and energetic astrophysical phenomena, such as black hole and neutron star mergers. During the merger of two black holes or neutron stars, particle acceleration is expected to occur. This can produce a short gamma-ray burst as well as neutrinos, cosmic messengers hurtling through space [...] Read More »
