Abstract

The ANTARES telescope has the capability to detect neutrinos produced in astrophysical transient sources. Potential sources include gamma-ray bursts, core collapse supernovae, and flaring active galactic nuclei. To enhance the sensitivity of ANTARES to such sources, a new detection method based on coincident observations of neutrinos and optical signals has been developed. A fast online muon track reconstruction is used to trigger a network of small automatic optical telescopes. Such alerts are generated for special events, such as two or more neutrinos, coincident in time and direction, or single neutrinos of very high energy. ; Centre National de la Recherche Scientifique (CNRS) ; Commissariat a l'energie atomique et aux energies alternatives (CEA) ; Agence National de la Recherche (ANR) ; Commission Europeenne ; Region Alsace (contrat CPER) ; Region Provence-Alpes-Cote d'Azur, Departement du Var ; Ville de La Seyne-sur-Mer, France ; Bundesministerium fur Bildung und Forschung (BMBF), Germany ; Istituto Nazionale di Fisica Nucleare (INFN), Italy ; Stichting voor Fundamenteel Onderzoek der Materie (FOM), Nederlandse organisatie voor Wetenschappelijk Onderzoek (NWO), the Netherlands ; Council of the President of the Russian Federation for young scientists and leading scientific schools, Russia ; National Authority for Scientific Research (ANCS), Romania ; Ministerio de Ciencia e Innovacion (MICINN), Prometeo of Generalitat Valenciana and Multi Dark, Spain ; GdR PCHE in France ; Ageron, M.; Aguilar, J.
