Description
Simultaneous observations in different wavelengths are critical for understanding the
high energy universe. The IceCube Neutrino Observatory offers the possibility to
view the universe through the neutrino window, to distinguish hadronic and leptonic
processes and to peer inside regions opaque to EM radiation. In many cases, the
neutrinos may also be the first messengers to arrive, and thus can serve as an alert
for other telescopes on the ground and in the sky. I will give an overview of
IceCube multi-messenger activities, including Target of Opportunity programs
coordinated with optical, x-ray, and gamma-ray instruments including ROTSE, MAGIC,
and Swift; supernova alerts with SNEWS; and joint offline searches for dark bursts
with the LIGO and Virgo gravitational wave detectors.
