Abstract

A multi-messenger approach with gravitational-wave transients and high-energy neutrinos is expected to open new perspectives in the study of the most violent astrophysical processes in the Universe. In particular, gamma-ray bursts are of special interest as they are associated with astrophysical scenarios predicting significant joint emission of gravitational waves and high-energy neutrinos. Several experiments (e.g. ANTARES, IceCube, LIGO and Virgo) are currently recording data and searching for those astrophysical sources. In this report, we present the first joint analysis effort using data from the gravitational-wave detectors LIGO and Virgo, and from the high-energy neutrino detector ANTARES.
