“…The ANTARES neutrino telescope [16] was completed in 2008 and the collected data can be used to search for MMs with energies high enough to yield light emission. The results of the analysis published in [17] using a data set of 116 days live time, lead to upper limits on the flux in the range between 1.3 × 10 −17 and 5.7 × 10 −16 cm −2 · s −1 · sr −1 for MMs with β > 0.6.…”

A search for magnetic monopoles using five years of data recorded with the ANTARES neutrino telescope from January 2008 to December 2012 with a total live time of 1121 days is presented. The analysis is carried out in the range β > 0.6 of magnetic monopole velocities using a strategy based on run-by-run Monte Carlo simulations. No signal above the background expectation from atmospheric muons and atmospheric neutrinos is observed, and upper limits are set on the magnetic monopole flux ranging from 5.7 × 10 −16 to 1.5 × 10 −18 cm −2 · s −1 · sr −1 .

“…ANTARES is an undersea neutrino telescope in the Mediterranean Sea off the coast of Toulon, France (Ageron et al 2011(Ageron et al ), completed in 2008 (coincident with the launch of Fermi ). 885 photomultiplier tubes mounted on twelve vertical lines are anchored to the seabed at a depth of 2475 m and register Cherenkov light induced by relativistic muons produced in charged-current interactions of high-energy neutrinos with matter around the detector.…”

Extragalactic jets launched from the immediate vicinity of supermassive black holes in radio-loud active galactic nuclei (AGN) are key objects in modern astronomy and astroparticle physics. AGN jets carry a fraction of the total gravitational energy released during the accretion of matter onto supermassive black holes and are prime suspects as possible sources of ultrahigh-energy cosmic rays and the recently detected extraterrestrial neutrinos at PeV energies. TANAMI (Tracking Active galactic Nuclei with Austral Milliarcsecond Interferometry) is a multiwavelength program monitoring AGN jets of the southern sky. It combines high-resolution imaging and spectral monitoring at radio wavelengths with higher-frequency observations at IR, optical/UV, X-ray, and γ-ray energies. We review recent results of the TANAMI program, highlighting AGN candidate neutrino-emitters in the error circles of the IceCube PeV neutrino events.

“…The ANTARES detector [2] is currently the largest neutrino telescope in the Northern Hemisphere, located at a depth of 2475 m in the Mediterranean Sea, 40 km from Toulon, France and continuously operated since 2007. It consists of almost 900 photomultiplier tubes (PMT), distributed on 12 vertical strings anchored to the sea bed.…”
