Many of the astrophysical sources and violent phenomena observed in our Universe are potential emitters gravitational waves (GWs) high-energy neutrinos (HENs). A network GW detectors such as LIGO Virgo can determine direction/time bursts while IceCube ANTARES neutrino telescopes also provide accurate directional information for HEN events. Requiring consistency between both, totally independent, detection channels shall enable new searches cosmic events arriving from common sources, which many extra-galactic objects.
