Searching for Optical Counterparts to High-Energy Neutrino Sources with the Zwicky Transient Facility

Searching for Optical Counterparts to High-Energy Neutrino Sources with the Zwicky Transient Facility

The IceCube neutrino observatory has discovered a flux of extragalactic neutrinos. However, the origin of these neutrinos is still unknown. Among the possible candidates are Gamma-Ray Bursts (GRBs), Core-Collapse Supernovae (SNe), Active Galactic Nuclei (AGN) and Tidal Disruption Events (TDEs) - all...
