Multi-messenger astronomy with high-energy gamma rays and neutrinos

Abstract

Astronomy has developed by enlarging the wavelengths and energies of light and photons. One field that has recently gained attention is “High-energy gamma-ray astronomy,” which uses a device called “Cherenkov telescopes” located on the ground to measure gamma-rays gamma rays with short wavelengths and high energies to unravel mysteries of the universe.

High-energy gamma-ray astronomy utilizes a relatively new technique that has gained popularity over the past 20 years. Currently, more than 200 gamma-ray sources have been found in high-energy gamma rays, including gamma-ray bursts, which were first discovered in 2019. Recently, a new field called “multi-messenger astronomy” has emerged, which combines information from various particles in addition to light and electromagnetic waves to study celestial bodies.

By combining information on high-energy neutrinos from the IceCube experiment led by Chiba University and gamma-rays, I would like to discover new knowledge, such as the mechanism of black hole creation.
