Abstract
The new field of multi-messenger astronomy aims at the study of astronomical sources using different types of "messenger" particles: photons, neutrinos, cosmic rays and gravitational waves. These lectures provide an introductory overview of the observational techniques used for each type of astronomical messenger, of different types of astronomical sources observed through different messenger channels and of the main physical processes involved in production of the messenger particles and their propagation through the Universe.
