Neutrino Astronomy: Connection to Nuclear Astrophysics
K. Kwak (UNIST)
Abstract
Since the first discovery of gravitational wave (GW), a new regime of astronomy often called multi-messenger astronomy has been emerging. As its name indicates, multi-messenger astronomy became possible thanks to new detector technologies capable of detecting non-traditional, non-electromagnetic astrophysical signals such as GW, neutrinos, and cosmic-rays. Neutrino astronomy is another important component of multi-messenger astronomy. Yet, currently available neutrino detectors are not fully operating as conventional “telescopes” simply because not many astrophysical sources are being observed. This talk presents potential astrophysical neutrino sources which may be able to be observed with next generation and future neutrino detectors. Connection to and contribution of nuclear astrophysics are also discussed.
