In the last decade, the IceCube Neutrino Observatory has pioneered the
field of what has become neutrino astronomy, by discovering and
characterising the flux of astrophysical neutrinos. As unequivocal
tracers of hadronic particle acceleration, neutrinos could be the key
to unveiling the origin of ultra-high-energy cosmic rays. Neutrino
telescopes have been hunting for the sources of astrophysical neutrinos
with a wide range of methods. While evidence has emerged for active
galactic nuclei and our own Galactic Plane being high-energy neutrino
factories, we know that the majority of the astrophysical flux comes
from yet unresolved sources. Multi-wavelength and multi-messenger
observations of transient astrophysical phenomena, such as supernovae
and tidal disruption events, could be the key to discovering new cosmic
accelerators. In this seminar, I will give an overview of the science
enabled by neutrino telescopes and of high-energy neutrinos as a novel
window on our Universe.
