Starburst galaxies (SBGs) and more in general starforming galaxies represent a class of galaxies with a high star formation rate (up to 100 solar masses/year). Despite their low luminosity, they can 19 be considered as guaranteed factories of high energy neutrinos, being reservoirs of accelerated 20 cosmic rays and hosting a high density target gas in the central region. In this contribution 21 we present a novel multimessenger study of these sources and the possibility of observing their 22 neutrino signals with the KM3NeT/ARCA telescope. The differential sensitivity for different SBG 23 scenarios is reported considering track-like neutrino events in the 100 GeV-100 PeV energy range.

KM3NeT will be a network of deep-sea neutrino telescopes in the Mediterranean Sea. The KM3NeT/ARCA detector, to be installed at the Capo Passero site (Italy), is optimised for the detection of high-energy neutrinos of cosmic origin. Thanks to its geo
graphical location on the Northern hemisphere, KM3NeT/ARCA can observe upgoing neutrinos from most of the Galactic Plane, including the Galactic Centre. Given its effective area and excellent pointing resolution, KM3NeT/ARCA will measure or significantly constrain the neutrino flux from potential astrophysical neutrino sources. At the same time, it will test flux predictions based on gamma-ray measurements and the assumption that the gamma-ray flux is of hadronic origin. Assuming this scenario, discovery potentials and sensitivities for a selected list of Galactic sources and to generic point sources with an $E^{-2}$ spectrum are presented. These spectra are assumed to be time independent. The results indicate that an observation with $3sigma$ significance is possible in about six years of operation for the most intense sources, such as Supernovae Remnants RX,J1713.7-3946 and Vela Jr. If no signal will be found during this time, the fraction of the gamma-ray flux coming from hadronic processes can be constrained to be below 50% for these two objects.
The discovery of high-energy astrophysical neutrinos by IceCube has opened a new window to the Universe. However, the origin of these neutrinos is still a mystery, and some of them could be a result of dark matter interactions such as decay. Next gen
eration gigaton water-Cherenkov neutrino telescope, KM3NeT, is expected to offer significantly improved energy resolution in the cascade channel, and advantageous viewing condition to the Galactic Center; both important for searches of dark matter decay signals. We study the sensitivity of KM3NeT on dark matter decays by performing a mock likelihood analysis for both cascade and track type events, taking into account both angular and energy information. We find that, combining both channels, KM3NeT is expected to produce world leading limits on dark matter decay lifetime in the PeV mass range, and could test some of the dark matter hints in the current IceCube data.
We briefly review the general insight into the indirect searches of dark matter. We discuss the primary equation in a three-level multimessenger approach (gamma rays, neutrinos and antiprotons), and we introduce the reader to the main topics and rela
ted uncertainties (e.g. dark matter density distribution, cosmic rays, particle physics). As an application of the general concept, we focus on the multi-TeV dark matter candidate among other weak interactive massive particles. We present the state-of-the-art on this sub-field, and we discuss open questions and experimental limitations.
In recent years, there have been significant advances in multi-messenger astronomy due to the discovery of the first, and so far only confirmed, gravitational wave event with a simultaneous electromagnetic (EM) counterpart, as well as improvements in
numerical simulations, gravitational wave (GW) detectors, and transient astronomy. This has led to the exciting possibility of performing joint analyses of the GW and EM data, providing additional constraints on fundamental properties of the binary progenitor and merger remnant. Here, we present a new Bayesian framework that allows inference of these properties, while taking into account the systematic modeling uncertainties that arise when mapping from GW binary progenitor properties to photometric light curves. We extend the relative binning method presented in Zackay et al. (2018) to include extrinsic GW parameters for fast analysis of the GW signal. The focus of our EM framework is on light curves arising from r-process nucleosynthesis in the ejected material during and after merger, the so called kilonova, and particularly on black hole - neutron star systems. As a case study, we examine the recent detection of GW190425, where the primary object is consistent with being either a black hole (BH) or a neutron star (NS). We show quantitatively how improved mapping between binary progenitor and outflow properties, and/or an increase in EM data quantity and quality are required in order to break degeneracies in the fundamental source parameters.
NGC 2146, a nearby luminous infrared galaxy (LIRG), presents evidence for outflows along the disk minor axis in all gas phases (ionized, neutral atomic and molecular). We present an analysis of the multi-phase starburst driven superwind in the centra
l 5 kpc as traced in spatially resolved spectral line observations, using far-IR Herschel PACS spectroscopy, to probe the effects on the atomic and ionized gas, and optical integral field spectroscopy to examine the ionized gas through diagnostic line ratios. We observe an increased ~250 km/s velocity dispersion in the [OI] 63 micron, [OIII] 88 micron, [NII] 122 micron and [CII] 158 micron fine-structure lines that is spatially coincident with high excitation gas above and below the disk. We model this with a slow ~200 km/s shock and trace the superwind to the edge of our field of view 2.5 kpc above the disk. We present new SOFIA 37 micron observations to explore the warm dust distribution, and detect no clear dust entrainment in the outflow. The stellar kinematics appear decoupled from the regular disk rotation seen in all gas phases, consistent with a recent merger event disrupting the system. We consider the role of the superwind in the evolution of NGC 2146 and speculate on the evolutionary future of the system. Our observations of NGC 2146 in the far-IR allow an unobscured view of the wind, crucial for tracing the superwind to the launching region at the disk center, and provide a local analog for future ALMA observations of outflows in high redshift systems.
