Description
The ANTARES collaboration operates a neutrino telescope active in its complete
configuration since 2008. Neutrinos have unique advantages to probe the Universe at
high energies compared to photons or cosmic rays, since they are neutral, stable and
weakly interacting. Among the goals of neutrino telescopes, the search for neutrino
astrophysical sources is one of the most relevant. The list of potential neutrino sources
include AGNs, GRBs, SNRs or micro-quasars. ANTARES being installed in the Northern
hemisphere, the sensitivity for the Southern sky, including the Galactic Center and
most of the Galactic Plane, is unsurpassed in the TeV-PeV range. We will present the
results of a search for neutrino sources in the sky using data gathered between 2007
and 2012.
