Description

Neutrinos play important roles in revealing mechanisms of energetic astrophysical explosions such as gamma-ray bursts (GRBs) and supernovae (SNe). The large neutrino detector, IceCube has opened a new window of the multi-messenger astronomy. I review theoretical models of high-energy neutrino emissions from gamma-ray bursts, with implications of recent observations and future prospects. I also discuss the importance of other classes of transients such as low-luminosity GRBs and luminous SNe.
