Observing and characterizing the next galactic core-collapse supernova will be a critical step for neutrino experiments. Extracting information about the supernova progenitors and neutrino properties within minutes after an observation will in particular be crucial in order to optimize analysis strategies at other observatories. Moreover, certain classes of progenitors, with strong magnetic fields, could give rise to gamma-ray bursts but have been underinvestigated to date. In this contribution we propose a strategy to combine results from next-generation neutrino experiments, focusing notably on the determination of the progenitor mass and the neutrino mass ordering. Additionally, we investigate the impact of strong magnetic fields on neutrino observations, and demonstrate the detectability of the associated effects in upcoming experiments.

By constantly monitoring at least one complete hemisphere of the sky, neutrino telescopes are well designed to detect neutrinos emitted by transient astrophysical sources. In particular, the ANTARES telescope is currently the largest high-energy neutrino detector in the Northern Hemisphere. Searches for ANTARES neutrino candidates coincident with multi-wavelength and multi-messenger transient phenomena are performed by triggering optical, X-ray and radio observations immediately after the detection of an interesting ANTARES event and also by looking for neutrino emission spatially and temporally coincident with transient astrophysical events detected across the electromagnetic spectrum or with new messengers as gravitational-wave signals. The latest results of the multi-messenger analyses performed with ANTARES will be presented in this contribution. In particular, we will focus on the neutrino follow-up performed after the detection of the first gravitation-wave event, GW150914.

We investigate potential collective effects in the spatial and temporal domains in ANTARES data sets. On the one hand, we apply a two-point correlation analysis to look for inhomogeneities in the arrival directions of the high energy muon neutrino candidates detected between 2007 and 2012. This enables us to provide constraints on models of a population of point sources too faint to be detected by a likelihood-based method. On the other hand, we perform a search for ANTARES neutrino events in temporal coincidence with IceCube High-Energy Starting Events located within 45∘ from the Galactic Center. This study, also based on a two-point correlation function, is sensitive to transient emission and does not a prior on either the burst timing structure or on the electromagnetic emission. Therefore, it provides an effective way to acquire information on the possible origin of the IceCube astrophysical signal from transient sources.
