Sky at high energy in the multi-messenger astronomy era
Benoit Lott (LP2I, France)
The Universe hosts powerful cosmic particle accelerators, which can today be studied in unprecedented details across the electromagnetic spectrum. These accelerators include Galactic objects ( e.g., pulsars, supernova remants, X-ray binaries) or extragalatic ones (e.g., ragio galaxies, starburst galaxies, gammar-ray bursts.). The seminar will summarize our current knowledge of the high-energy sky, mainly gained through the detection of gamma-rays by the Fermi satellite. Besides photons, other messengers have become available to expand this knowledge : ultra-high energy cosmic rays, neutrinos, and gravitational waves.
Some discoveries enabled by these probes as well as recent extraordinary events in the field will be highlighted.
