Zusammenfassung:
Many of the astrophysical sources and violent phenomena observed in our
Universe are potential emitters of gravitational waves (GW) and high-energy
neutrinos (HEN). Both GWs and HENs may escape very dense media and travel
unaffected over cosmological distances, carrying information from the innermost
regions of the astrophysical engines. Such messengers could also reveal new,
hidden sources that have not been observed by conventional photon-based
astronomy. Coincident observation of GWs and HENs may thus play a critical role
in multimessenger astronomy. This is particularly true at the present time
owing to the advent of a new generation of dedicated detectors: IceCube,
ANTARES, VIRGO and LIGO. Given the complexity of the instruments, a successful
joint analysis of this data set will be possible only if the expertise and
knowledge of the data is shared between the two communities. This review aims
at providing an overview of both theoretical and experimental state-of-the-art
and perspectives for such a GW+HEN multimessenger astronomy.
