Abstract

The IceCube neutrino observatory is a 1km3 detector for Cherenkov light in the ice at the South Pole. Its recent results confirm the presence of an astrophysical neutrino flux of still unidentified origin. In addition to traditional analyses, IceCube now distributes alerts of interesting neutrino events in real time. Harnessing the continuous full-sky observation power to immediately react upon the detection of neutrino multiplets and single astrophysical neutrino candidates will increase the availability of simultaneous multi-messenger data. This approach boosts the discovery potential of astrophysical sources and can constrain models of their high-energy neutrino and gamma emission. The talk will present recent results and future prospects of the neutrino-triggered multi-messenger programs in IceCube.
