摘要
我们在宇宙中观测到的许多天体物理源和剧烈现象都可能是引力波 (GW) 和高能中微子 (HEN) 的潜在发射体。GW 和 HEN 均可逃逸极密集介质，并在宇宙学距离上无衰减地传播，携带着来自天体物理引擎最内部区域的信息。此类信使还可能揭示传统基于光子的天文学尚未观测到的新隐藏源。因此，GW 和 HEN 的符合观测可在多信使天文学中发挥关键作用。由于新一代专用探测器的问世：IceCube、ANTARES、VIRGO 和 LIGO，这一点在当下尤为显著。鉴于仪器的复杂性，只有在这两个研究群体之间共享数据的专业知识与认识，才可能对该数据集进行成功的联合分析。本综述旨在概述此类 GW+HEN 多信使天文学的理论与实验现状及发展前景。
