Description

Neutrino astronomy is starting to unveil new features of the extreme non-thermal Universe, thanks to the operation of several large volume Cherenkov neutrino telescopes, as IceCube, Baikal-GVD, and KM3NeT. These instruments benefit of extended and complementary fields of view, coupled to high duty cycle and sub-degree angular resolution, allowing the study of cosmic neutrinos and their sources. While the existence of a diffuse flux of high-energy neutrinos has been proved more than a decade ago, two major discoveries have occurred in the last couple of years: i) the first detection of an ultra-high-energy neutrino, KM3230213A, and ii) the emergence of the Galactic neutrino component. In this contribution, I will report on both these observations, providing insights into ongoing analyses and future studies.
