Description
Multi-messenger astrophysics has been a transformative approach to exploring the Universe, combining information from not only photons but also cosmic rays, neutrinos, and gravitational waves to probe the most energetic phenomena in Nature. Major discoveries have opened unprecedented opportunities to study the origins of cosmic particles and the physics of extreme environments. Japan has played central roles in these developments, through theoretical, observational, and experimental efforts. In this talk, I will cover some of such developments in an international context. Furthermore, through the experience of past successes, future Japanese efforts will continue to drive advances in the multi-messenger era, to help uncover the engines of cosmic explosions, identify the sources of high-energy particles, and beyond.
